Review:I have advanced osteoarthritis in both hip joints and my knees are catching up. That means I was looking at a potential of four joint replacement surgeries.

Then, you get to select from 8 different workouts. At least one is sure to work for you. I do two different workouts and will probably try more of them. The first... Read more
