- "I have been ACE (IDEA) certified for 20 years and have taken many correspondence courses over the years. This was definitely one of the best. I felt I really learned a lot about the disease, treatment and prevention"
-M. Spinola, Indianapolis, IN
- "My clients are mostly seniors with osteoporosis. I have just been told I have osteopenia. This information will be applied to my clients, as well as myself, for our daily living routines. "
-B. Pue-Gilchrist, Hampstead, NC
- "I work in home health which is predominantly geriatric and many clients are osteoporotic. This course helped me realize that these patients need to be challenged more with resistive exercise with a similar approach as is done in body building."
-D. Beechey, Mesa, AZ
- "A better understanding of the relationship between exercise and the slowing of osoporosis and which exercises are the most important and which to avoid in a person with osteoporosis."
-M. Lamkin, Flagstaff, AZ
- "First of all - ENTHUSIASM! I've been teaching the same thing for so long that it was really great to get so much new material. It also significantly expanded my knowledge of osteoporosis, its prevention and treatment."
-L. Herbkersman, Middleburg Heights, OH
- "I am a clinical psychologist who does not work with clients in an exercise setting, but who uses my certification and knowlege to encourage and motivate them to include exercise in their lives. This course gives me additional information to do this - especially with my post-menopausal clients. And, as one myself, I have already incorporated the information in my own workouts."
-H. Epps, Washington, DC
- "I work with plus-sized ladies who often suffer from osteoporosis. This course showed me a few new techniques and clearer understanding of this condition! Excellent!"
-T. Schindler, Morgan Hill, CA
- "The guide book was excellent! An easy-to-use and understand format. I also liked the client handout section and the photos/explanations of actual exercises. This is very useful when trying to demonstrate and explain to clients."
-M. O'Connor, Great Falls, VA
- "As a fitness instructor approaching my 60's, I find that this will not only enhance clients and patients knowledge, but I am already planning to put this program to work on myself and hopefully begin this program at our club! We have quite a few "older clients" that do strength training but sometimes its difficult to get some of them to try this type of thing. You have given me many pointers that I believe this will help us get this group interested and remain interested in this very important area of exercise! I so appreciate the thoroughness and professional expertise of this course! THANK YOU!"
-M. MacNamara, Springfield, PA
- "I train mainly female clients from 15-70 years of age and they are interested in preserving and building BMD and developing good habits. This course provides the research evidence that I can explain to my clients to show why I select particular exercises.""
-J. Binkovitz, Plain City, OH
- "This really hits home – I have osteopenia and the course explained what I need to do for myself and my clients. It is a wonderful course!"
-L. Hayte, Denver, CO
- "I instruct exercise classes at senior centers and now could design a class that focuses on bone density improvement. Also, as a nutritional counselor, I have a refreshed knowledge to help my clients improve their diets to benefit bones. Besides CECs, I have expanded my knowledge of bone physiology and the best exercises to stimulate bone growth and density. Also, having completed this course increases my credibility to create exercise programs in this area."
-N. Boch, Clarkston, MI
- "The bone remodeling process was so interesting. Learning about postural alignment and promoting muscle balance, and the exercise guidelines for osteoporosis have been very helpful. I can use the balance and stretching exercises to help clients. The lower abdominal strength progression sequence was helpful and I can use them in class. The nutritional chapter was excellent too. It was a wonderful course and I learned a great deal!"
-A. Halverson, Hayden Lake, ID
- "I have learned what a client should and should not do and how to motivate them to get going. I teach aqua exercise and am always encouraging my people to get into the weight room – this course will be another reason why they should lift some ‘iron’."
-V. Steeb, Richlandtown, PA
- "This course was VERY informative! Personally, I can apply this information to my Sports Physiology & Nutrition courses that I teach at Pima Community College. I've been recommending it to students, even if they don't need the continuing education credits. Also, and most importantly, I can help my mother that has advanced osteoporosis."
-N. Gamboian, Tucson, AZ
