They are also learning about the preventive effect of exercise on diseases and conditions, including depression, heart disease, osteoporosis, dementia and breast cancer. Anatomy of Exercise for Women provides women of all ages with exercise programmes that will bring great benefits in physical fitness, psychological well-being and meeting the challenges of daily life.

The Beginner’s and Back to Basics Workouts are excellent overall programmes. Stretching exercises help to alleviate stress and fatigue, improve posture and increase flexibility.
