About the Author

Lynda Huey

When I got my first book contract with Quadrangle, the New York Times Book Company, I was twenty-seven years old. That was 1974 and I was going to be an author!

A Running Start: An Athlete, A Woman was published in 1976 and was well before its time. People didn't care about women's sports, but it became a bestseller on the librarians' lists.

Zan Knudson was the author of dozens of books. She read my autobiography and called me. She had the idea to take my new water exercise program and turn it into a book. New American Library (NAL) published The Waterpower Workout in 1986. It was the first exercise book published in American to use African-American models, including Olympic sprinter Evelyn Ashford, NFL tight end Bernie Casey, and NBA superstar Wilt Chamberlain.

When The Complete Waterpower Workout Book was published by Random House in 1993 it was already in demand. That book is still in print today and is the best-selling book in the field of water exercise and water rehabilitation. It was translated into Spanish and German.

In 1994, my long-time close friend Wilt Chamberlain had arthroscopic hip surgery with orthopedic surgeon Robert Klapper, M.D. and told him about my pool rehab program. Before long Dr. Klapper and I were planning a book about hips for the lay public. Heal Your Hips: How to Prevent Hip Surgery - And What To Do If You Need It was published by John Wiley & Sons in 1999. That book is still in print today and continues to sell.

A few years later we wrote Heal Your Knees: How to Prevent Knee Surgery - And What To Do If You Need It. Our knee book was published in 2004 by M. Evans and has been translated into Spanish.
