Here is my Personal Must-Haves to help you with your home routine
Joan Pagano is a fitness expert and widely-published author of five exercise books. Former trainer to Jacqueline Onassis and Caroline Kennedy, Joan has specialized in strength training for women since 1988. She knows how to re-shape bodies, has experimented with all the trends, is familiar with all the mind games, and understands what motivates people to work out – whether it’s to be healthier or to look better in your jeans.
Joan is an authority on the benefits of exercise for women’s health and focuses on issues such as pregnancy, menopause, osteoporosis and breast cancer as well as strength training through the decades. She has been featured in many media outlets, including TV, radio, print and on-line venues, and is the owner of Joan Pagano Fitness in New York City.
The following are books of Joan Pagano which I personally own, use and highly recommend:-
Tone up, burn calories and create a fabulous feminine body with this step-by-step manual to strength training. Features exercises to help you shape up without the bulk and benefit you in the fight against osteoporosis and the ageing process. Whether at home or at the gym, a variety of workouts will ensure you can build and maintain good muscle shape for lasting health.
