Well, it worked
I hurt my rotator cuffs doing some bag work. I waited a long time (I'm a guy) to go into an ortho. He gave me the advice to work on my posture, lose weight and a photocopy of some exercises to do. Told me that how I injured myself didn't matter, fixing it was what ...

The Eat-Clean Diet Workout: Quick Routines for Your Best Body Ever (with DVD)
Tosca Reno
Robert Kennedy Publishing, 2007
Great for beginners....not for seasoned exercisers
Though I love Tosca Reno, if you've been exercising for any length of time, it's just too basic. I ended up giving this book to one of my friends who didn't exercise, but wanted to start. I would however recommend her other books on eating clean--those are great!
