I’ve been strength training since I was 40 I was diagnosed with osteopenia from my Graves’ disease when I was 30 and I’m still osteopenia in my 40s mid 40s and die it’s important to but I am still doing wall push-ups. It is so hard for me to do push-ups unless I’m on my knees on the floor.!!! They are so difficult because my arms are tiny. Only weigh 112 I got a little tiny stick Barbie arms.!!! Ugh
I AM a yoga teacher who got injured. Just as I was beginning to improve, the pandemic shut everything down (I'm in NYC). I was ok for awhile, doing walking and exercises at home but then had a set back. I don’t have osteoporosis but I am 72 and living with osteoarthritis and spinal stenosis. I do movements from Donna Eden's Energy Method and was in PT but have to conserve my sessions. Even though I am aware of these exercises I was so happy to find them here because they have given me a new incentive to do these again. I am determined to get strong again. Very grateful for your information.💕
@@vanillasky18 great idea. Although since I can't take the subway because of the stairs (just yet any way). it would cost me about $100 to get into Manhattan plus the cost of the classes, which are quite expensive.
I’m 60 and diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis-3.6 on dexa scan . I’m in shock. Thank you for these exercises. I’m definitely going to concentrate on this and weight bearing . I’m not going to take the medication with horrific side effects. Homeopathy route is it for me.
VITAMIN K2!!! at least 100-300mcgs/day. It pulls calcium out of the bloodstream and takes it to the bone where it needs to be. You can take it in pill form or buy natto which is fermented soybeans. I take 2 teaspoons of it a day along with my 100mcgs pill. Magnesium - make sure you take it separate from calcium - 2 hours before or after you take calcium. Of course don't forget vitamin D3 and Calcium Make sure you have the amount of protein required for your size. Stay away from caffeine or use much less.
I happened upon your videos just at the perfect time. I was desperate and considering spending a fortune for trainers, gyms, RX's etc. What you offer in your videos is logical, understandable and sound.......and you zeroed in on exactly what I've been unable to hear from most.

Hi! I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and was desperately looking for exercises I could do at home. I can’t believe I found this video!! Thanks Ed and Elizabeth so much!🙏
My physio therapist also gave me three of these exercises to do after I broke my arm. I'm a "border case" for osteoporosis. He told me musle exercises are good but for your body to produce calsium you have to do impact exercises too, walking, jogging etc, but walking is better, not too much impact on knees, back and ankles. As I'm not English I hope you understand 😊
My diagnosis of osteoporosis of the spine and osteopenia of the hip a year ago at 65 was a huge shock to me because I have been practicing yoga for over a decade, have done weight bearing for several years, take vitamin supplements, no smoking, little alcohol etc. My common sense told me it all wasnt enough, so I have been on medication for one year (absolutely No side effects). I do specific Yoga poses for osteoporosis now and specific weight bearing exercises for osteoporosis. I am due for a dexa scan soon and am hoping my Score will have improved and that maybe I can come off the bisphosphonate. I enjoy your channel!
Can I please ask you what medication you are taking? I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis yesterday and in a bit of shock. I’m not sure I want to take the medications. I see side effects of anxiety and depression and I am already in a depression with high anxiety. TIA Elaine
Are you eating 800 - 1200 mg of calcium/day? This is so important. I have osteopenia and refuse to take meds - the research I've done has horrible results. What I eat: canned bone in salmon - 1 can/wk, dark leafy greens, yogurt, cottage cheese, Take Vit. D3/K2, legumes, berries. I read all labels and hit aprox 800/day. Even too much calcium isn't good. Make sure you get the blood panel done and the urine analysis. Also I walk with a 18lb weighted vest.
Thank you so much for these simple exercises! I have spinal stenosis, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis as well as osteoporosis. I know, I'm a mess. I am so happy to find bone strengthening exercises I can begin to do immediately.
@@FrontRowwithEd Thank you so much for your information and well wishes. I have also bought a simple pedometer & will gradually try to increase my activity.
@@lindaa2437 Sounds great Linda! Tracking your steps is a great way to get daily exercise and to challenge yourself to get a certain baseline level of exercise. Best, Ed

I am a generally very healthy 83 year old female. After a bone density test, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I have an appointment with an endocrinologist in February. In the meantime, after much research I have chosen your 4 exercise and Cal Mag plus K2 liquid vitamins. My question is do you have specific e recuses for an ankle which is definitely weaker, other than doing more repetitions? I feel very lucky to have found your site. I will do everything not to take medication.
TY Ed ! 4 exercises: sitting squats ; wall push ups ; calf raises ; shoulder diagonal . May I add impact moves such as marching with a stomp or hops , if you can’t jump . With artrosis , I can’t jump , but I can certainly stomp , march or hop . Also , I finish my heel raises with a stomp , to create that “ vibration “ bone needs to become stronger . It’s great sharing info that could help us ladies with osteo issues . Thx and Merry Xmas ! ❤
You are very welcome and Merry Christmas to you also! Yes, I love the "impact" exercises you are doing to add another level of "stress" to the bones to come back stronger. Keep it up!

I’m in my 70’s. My bone density result was 54% in one hip 58% in the other. My doctor had not even studied about any one with that rate of fragility that could 0:060:06 still walk. It is very painful, but who cares! Perhaps with Better nourishment and exercise I can keep on keeping on a bit longer
I am 72, riddled with osteoarthritis and had a fall breaking femur,hip,arm, wrist last year.. pain got so bad needing pain relief every 2hrs. Started carnivore eating plan ,2 week later I needed no pain relief. 7 months now improving more every week.
@@barba5537 that’s a fantastic tribute to the benefits of a real human diet and the nutrition of beef. I have ankylosing spondylitis in my spine and I have nearly 0 pain after eating carnivore for 18 months.
I've seen a lot of exercise videos for beginners and I am most impressed with your exercise regimen. Thanks for not going into all the medical talk and just sticking to the necessary exercise info.

Thank you for showing these 4 exercises. Not only have I osteoporosis, I also have lower and upper back pain due to carrying heavy stuff by mistake within 7 months and later 3 months after, falling down twice within 3 months. I had a terrible back pain but now healing. I at once tried your exercises which are very helpful to my back pain.

Thank you for a great video. I usually look to TH-cam for watercolor information. I'm a 65 year old retired RN, having survived five craniotomies for a pesky brain tumor that led to left sided weakness and severe osteoporosis ans 43 degree scoliosis. I think my huge flower gardens force me to exercise but I am still losing strength, particularly one old shoulder, an injury I never had repaired. These sound like a great idea for me and I appreciate this so much.
Your new subscriber. Thank you so much. I was worried after metatarsal fracture on my foot. Fracture is healed, little bit of swelling. After 8 months i still have pain while walking. I came across your video and am so happy. I will start doing these excercise
I so needed this woke up several times stressed and depressed over whats going on and poof there you were with this tapping relief/release technique… Love you Dr. Mandell you are truly God sent Blessings to you❤🙏 PS.. Keep On Keeping On.. We Need You.. God works through you to Bless our lives with better health 😊
I don’t have osteoporosis! But these exercises are going to generally be wonderful. I’m living with osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia! I’ve been through hip replacement and cervical revision. I look forward to checking out you videos ❤❤
When you say surgical revision- Did you get a fusion, discectomy, Laminectomy or what type of surgery did you get and what was the pre surgical diagnosis and post surgery outcome? - If you don’t mind answering because I have several neck issues but am concerned due to my osteoporosis.
Thank you this is great exercise for my new dx osteoporosis . I am 74 and fairly athletic . I am modifying my yoga routine to be safer for my bones and spine . I walk too . Use bands.
Thank you! I am 55 and was just diagnosed with full blown osteoporosis. Was told I have the bones of a 70 year old. That's an instant live style change for me.
First hope you're doing better. Mine allllll due to lifelong stomach issues.2 joint replacements plus there's more!! Now at 62 imbalances in the body PHYSICAL ONES ANYWHERE starting with jaw/ teeth to POSTURE. play a part. Lymph moving SO necessary. I love TH-cam, especially KICKING IT NATURALLY, Dr. Peter Osborne, n a few other masters. Sending blessings 💞😊
I have osteoporosis. I like your videos and this exercise is very helpful because I can't push up exercise on the floor. Kitchen counter is very good. I am 65. Thank you Dr.
Thank you so much Doctor, those exercises are easy and very helpful I just got diagnosed with Osteoporosis and already enrolled at the YMCA, but still gonna do this exercises you recommend 😊

Hi I am 64 female with osteoporosis in my femoral necks and lumber area. I was doing many exercises including standard squats and squats with a kettlebell. My chiropractor has advised me against squats. She said it places too much strain the femoral necks and might lead to fracture. Thoughts?
These exercises ARE just what i desperately need. Thank you so much for your clear and precise instructions and physical demonstrations. Your enthusiasm to want to help us all is sooo encouraging. Am checking out your website Now!!!!!

Just perfect. Clear quick and relevant. New subscriber. Aged 71 with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Prescribed a stairlift , bath hoist and electric wheelchair 11 years ago. Still saying no thanks.

Good morning!!☀️☀️ I have not been diagnosed with osteoporosis, but my back has been hurting a lot and my bones ache with the coldness and out of nowhere . Thank you so much for your information and time I started to do them today I wish you a great holiday season.❤🙏
Very helpful videos that reinforce a few things I’m already doing! I can’t do any weight bearing at all with my right arm, so I have to modify a lot of exercises (band work is out unless it’s something I can do with one side of the band secured in a door). I have figured one-sided modifications are better than none. Is there a downside I should be aware of? Many thanks…

These are perfect for me after a kyphoplasty procedure for vertebral compression. Your demonstration and accompanying explanations are well delivered. Thanks!
Hi, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis of the spine, noted I tried to lift my spouse without thinking and fractured my L1 (compression fracture). It's been 9 months, and still have pain. Surgery is the only way, but am trying other alternatives with exercise. I can't sit long unless I am in a slight reclining position, no straight up sitting. I use a back brace at times. Also, it kills to bend over doing yardwork. I need advice how to do yardwork which I loved. Thank you
do not add yard work until you are fully recovered and then give it more time even after you feel recovered. Yard work and any bending over are very hard on lower back recovery. I know, happened to me.

Just found this channel. I have osteoporosis and have had 3 fractures over the past 10 years. I was told people with osteoporosis should not do exercises that involve bending or twisting the spine. Is this true? My PT said it shouldn't be a problem but I want to be sure I'm safe. Thank you.
Yes, you do need to be careful with how you move. The exercises I talk about in the video are safe. Here's another video you may find helpful th-cam.com/video/_T5h5RsVDmc/w-d-xo.html
I have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis but as I understand it, it is not muscle I need to strengthen but bones, so I was told weight bearing exercise like walking ( which I’ve always done ) I walk my dog 7k a day, and weights, so that my osteoblasts get to work!
Thank you for video ❤ I have OSTEOPOROSIS in Spine ..... now i have fracture in spine 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 Have been in bed for over three months 😢 Get up for different reasons.... then it gets worse! So of to bed again , on pain management now 😢 So thank uou do much ❤🎉 from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good afternoon sir,🙏 Sir I am Osteoporosis patient. Taking shelcal regularly. Now a day I have treble back paint specially while lying down even my fingers started getting pain. Kindly tell me some physio exercises please. Regards. Lucy( sr. Citizen) India.
Awesome and thank you! Question: How many reps and sets do you suggest. You did include that info for heel raises, but didn't see it for the other 3. I usu do 3 sets of 10 of most exercises I do. Again, appreciate this excellent content *and* your explanation, which contains all necessary without too much extraneous info!
Stay positive Rebekah, and just start slowly and be consistent. Try to find a friend to do it with you, it helps to keep you motivated and on track. Good luck!
New subscriber! You have the most clear concise explanations, was recently diagnosed with osteopenia I saw your other strengthening exercises and will give those a go, I’m also using dumbbells. My worst area is in the femur .
I have just subscribed- I have osteoporosis I broke my arm and shoulder when I was 50 that’s when I found out I had osteoporosis - it took my years to recover they had to take the bone from my hit also to repair my shoulder - now the bottom of my back is hurting and knees any suggestions please what to do - I’m going to try these exercises I eat a healthy diet and take vitamins so I hope after exercise I can feel better
This is a great video, clear, concise instructions at just the right speed to absorb the information. Very grateful to have come across this so thank you.
Awesome demonstration that's important to do for osteoporosis. Appreciate this information since I have osteoporosis! Could give more demonstration & how many minutes should I do & what about stretches, cardio workouts?🤗
Hey Christopher, here's the link to a couple of playlists that you may find helpful Osteoporosis videos th-cam.com/play/PL7iadTWb0ExqS-wsl0ssK7jKVwqkRTTlJ.html and here's another one with cardio, stretching, etc th-cam.com/play/PL7iadTWb0ExpQnJqAFDemApByjXdDPEEV.html Make sure to watch the video on exercises to NOT do with osteoporosis, good luck!

GREAT presentation of most helpful information. I'll start today! Any exercises for newly diagnosed scoliosis of lower right side of spine, from the base up about five vertebrae? Thank You!
I had polio as an 8-year-old. I recovered but now I have Post Polio Syndrome. I am 82. While I was on HRT my bone scan was encouraging. But when I had Breast cancer I had to stop HRT. Now I have osteoporosis. I can do the first two exercises, but my left side is paralysed and I am lacking in gluteus maximus on that side. Also my leg is completely paralysed from the knee down so I cannot do heel raises on that side. I worry about breaking my femur. I wear callipers and cannot walk much.
Thank you for this video. Question: Does swimming four times a week equal the same as these weight bearing exercises? I swim all four strokes, four times a week, averaging 2 miles each time. I can't find an answer on the internet to the benefits of swimming. The water acts as resistance and I am building up muscle, but do you have to have body weight on your bones to help with severe osteopenia?
Hello Wendy, great job swimming 4 days per week, that's awesome! And while you are building muscle with the resistance of the water, you should still do land based strengthening exercises 2 times per week.
I am so glad I found you. Thank you so much. I have ITB pain all day. Do you have exercises for this? I am so glad you showed how to do these and other exercisers without getting on the floor.

Thank you. I really appreciate this instructional video. I wish there were some good, fun and safe exercise routines for people with Osteoporosis, like there are for cardio, dance and walking. Just a thought.
With an app on your phone you can set up a playlist with the kind of music you find invigorating, motivational and fun. Match the kind of music you want to each exercise, ( or group of exercises). It may take a bit of trial and error, but once you set it up ( and have your exercises memorized in order of the music), you are good to go! If you don't have a phone with which you can set this up, just put on a CD ( old school). Good Luck and have fun!
You are very welcome, happy to help! I have a few videos on lower back pain as well too that you could check out if your back continues to bother you. If you can’t find the specific video you’re looking for let me know and I will send you the link, take care.
Another question. How strong a band should one get to start? I am a 78 year old woman who has not done strengthening exercises before although I did yoga.
Great question, I would get a 3-pack of bands, different colors are different strength. Start with the Yellow (usually the lightest) and build up slowly as you get stronger.
Hello ,ur Vedios are so informative…thank u so much I am 30 yrs old n just found out that I have osteopenia…. Em very depressed… is it completely reversible at this age .my T-score is -2.2 in spine n -1.2 on right hip
What specific targeted exercise do you recommend to increase bone density in L1-L4? My bone density is decreasing in this area only. Thank you. I currently exercise 7 hours/ wk (Pilates, Yoga, weights).
Your exercises are easy for me except for that chair squat you perform with a big smile, lucky you. Sometimes it takes me over an hour to get up from my chair and this is even with armrests and after having taken 2 Advil. I can't believe how so many people complaining about their physical problems seem to have no problem with chair squats. Squatting has to be one of the most difficult exercises, second only to getting up from the floor.
I love these... ive done some of the wall sets.... I have fibromylagia... must use care w.my muscles so as to not cause muscle pain...will share your video so i can do it ...
May be too late, but I have no other choice than to save my Bones. Finally AGREED to medication. Prolia. For several years I was prescribed Fosamax, picked up the prescriptions, but NEVER took one pill. I saw it as battery acid. 73, no meds, active, played 54 holes of golf over 3 days a week ago. No pain. No symptoms. New Doc who said. "You gotta do something". Please, trust me. Just took the first injection. Can exercise really rebuild bone?
In my opinion, exercise (especially weightlifting) is a critical part of helping to manage osteoporosis whether you take the medication or not. We need strong muscles as we age! Best wishes
Can you please give me exercises suitable for osteoporosis with a fractured L1 from a big fall. It's been almost 4 months since my fall and my fracture is not healing. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.
I'm 70 with osteoporosis. I'm vegan and get plenty protein. I walk 30 minutes most days. No meds except vitamin D. I've started your exercises. I want to add a weighted vest to my walking. What weight would you recommend? I was thinking 8 lbs. Thanks so much for your videos.
Hmmmm ... good question about the weighted vest! I hope they answer. I wonder if hand weights would be recommended instead or in addition to a weighted vest ... ? Stay well! 🙂
Hello Gail, great question. I would start at 3-5lbs and let your body get use to the extra “weight”. Better to be safe than too sore. Keep up all the good work!!
Great info! I am 82, have hyper parathyroid issue. I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis in my left arm & osteopenia in my spine. I would really like to avoid those drugs so these exercise should really help. I already walk at least 30 minutes a day but knew I needed to add upper body exercise. These will be a great start. What do you think about walking with poles? Should I add walking poles to my regular walk?
Hello i’m writing you from France,sorry for my misstakes in english. Can you tell me if i can do these excercises because i have vertébral collapse and scoliose. Thank you for your answer and all your interesting vidéos. Daphnis

Be sure to take trace minerals daily and celtic/himalaya salt only. Chia seeds l read are good calcium
@@patriciaboatman8423
Thank you !! Will do
Which kind of homeopathy do you use?
VITAMIN K2!!! at least 100-300mcgs/day. It pulls calcium out of the bloodstream and takes it to the bone where it needs to be. You can take it in pill form or buy natto which is fermented soybeans. I take 2 teaspoons of it a day along with my 100mcgs pill.
Magnesium - make sure you take it separate from calcium - 2 hours before or after you take calcium.
Of course don't forget vitamin D3 and Calcium
Make sure you have the amount of protein required for your size.
Stay away from caffeine or use much less.

Thank you so much for these simple exercises! I have spinal stenosis, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis as well as osteoporosis. I know, I'm a mess. I am so happy to find bone strengthening exercises I can begin to do immediately.
Excellent is a key is to do what you can without forcing anything by being proactive and staying positive! Good luck
@@FrontRowwithEd Thank you so much for your information and well wishes. I have also bought a simple pedometer & will gradually try to increase my activity.

I am a generally very healthy 83 year old female. After a bone density test, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I have an appointment with an endocrinologist in February. In the meantime, after much research I have chosen your 4 exercise and Cal Mag plus K2 liquid vitamins. My question is do you have specific e recuses for an ankle which is definitely weaker, other than doing more repetitions? I feel very lucky to have found your site. I will do everything not to take medication.
TY Ed ! 4 exercises: sitting squats ; wall push ups ; calf raises ; shoulder diagonal . May I add impact moves such as marching with a stomp or hops , if you can’t jump . With artrosis , I can’t jump , but I can certainly stomp , march or hop . Also , I finish my heel raises with a stomp , to create that “ vibration “ bone needs to become stronger . It’s great sharing info that could help us ladies with osteo issues . Thx and Merry Xmas ! ❤
You are very welcome and Merry Christmas to you also! Yes, I love the "impact" exercises you are doing to add another level of "stress" to the bones to come back stronger. Keep it up!

excellent suggestions
I’m in my 70’s. My bone density result was 54% in one hip 58% in the other. My doctor had not even studied about any one with that rate of fragility that could 0:06 0:06 still walk. It is very painful, but who cares! Perhaps with
Better nourishment and exercise I can keep on keeping on a bit longer
Look into carnivore diet. Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Eric Westman.
I am 72, riddled with osteoarthritis and had a fall breaking femur,hip,arm, wrist last year.. pain got so bad needing pain relief every 2hrs. Started carnivore eating plan ,2 week later I needed no pain relief. 7 months now improving more every week.
@@barba5537 that’s a fantastic tribute to the benefits of a real human diet and the nutrition of beef. I have ankylosing spondylitis in my spine and I have nearly 0 pain after eating carnivore for 18 months.
I just came upon your channel. I have osteoporosis and I have followed you as I did these exercises. Thank uou. 😊
Welcome!
I've seen a lot of exercise videos for beginners and I am most impressed with your exercise regimen. Thanks for not going into all the medical talk and just sticking to the necessary exercise info.
Thanks! I try to keep it simple and to the point.

Thank you for showing these 4 exercises. Not only have I osteoporosis, I also have lower and upper back pain due to carrying heavy stuff by mistake within 7 months and later 3 months after, falling down twice within 3 months. I had a terrible back pain but now healing. I at once tried your exercises which are very helpful to my back pain.

Wow thank you soo much.for this video. Is what I need.i will do the work out. GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU.
I've never seen the band loop used used this way. Only attached to door. Love it.
Excellent, happy to help!
Thank you for a great video. I usually look to TH-cam for watercolor information. I'm a 65 year old retired RN, having survived five craniotomies for a pesky brain tumor that led to left sided weakness and severe osteoporosis ans 43 degree scoliosis. I think my huge flower gardens force me to exercise but I am still losing strength, particularly one old shoulder, an injury I never had repaired. These sound like a great idea for me and I appreciate this so much.
You are very welcome, hope they help!
Your new subscriber. Thank you so much. I was worried after metatarsal fracture on my foot. Fracture is healed, little bit of swelling. After 8 months i still have pain while walking. I came across your video and am so happy. I will start doing these excercise
Welcome! I hope they help
I so needed this woke up several times stressed and depressed over whats going on and poof there you were with this tapping relief/release technique… Love you Dr. Mandell you are truly God sent Blessings to you❤🙏 PS.. Keep On Keeping On.. We Need You.. God works through you to Bless our lives with better health 😊
I don’t have osteoporosis! But these exercises are going to generally be wonderful. I’m living with osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia! I’ve been through hip replacement and cervical revision. I look forward to checking out you videos ❤❤
When you say surgical revision- Did you get a fusion, discectomy, Laminectomy or what type of surgery did you get and what was the pre surgical diagnosis and post surgery outcome? - If you don’t mind answering because I have several neck issues but am concerned due to my osteoporosis.
Ty! I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis last month at 59 and these exercises are just what I've been looking for.😊
You are very welcome!
Thank you this is great exercise for my new dx osteoporosis . I am 74 and fairly athletic . I am modifying my yoga routine to be safer for my bones and spine . I walk too . Use bands.
Excellent Lynda!

Hi I am 64 female with osteoporosis in my femoral necks and lumber area. I was doing many exercises including standard squats and squats with a kettlebell. My chiropractor has advised me against squats. She said it places too much strain the femoral necks and might lead to fracture. Thoughts?
Osteoporosis I was told I had at the age of 47 years old, and was just over the line...

Very helpful videos that reinforce a few things I’m already doing! I can’t do any weight bearing at all with my right arm, so I have to modify a lot of exercises (band work is out unless it’s something I can do with one side of the band secured in a door). I have figured one-sided modifications are better than none. Is there a downside I should be aware of? Many thanks…
Great tips thumbs up !
Will check out looks great

These are perfect for me after a kyphoplasty procedure for vertebral compression. Your demonstration and accompanying explanations are well delivered. Thanks!
Are you are very welcome, good luck with your recovery!
Hi, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis of the spine, noted I tried to lift my spouse without thinking and fractured my L1 (compression fracture). It's been 9 months, and still have pain. Surgery is the only way, but am trying other alternatives with exercise. I can't sit long unless I am in a slight reclining position, no straight up sitting. I use a back brace at times. Also, it kills to bend over doing yardwork. I need advice how to do yardwork which I loved. Thank you
Have bone broth regularly n doing the back strengthening exercises at least 3-4 times a week will definitely make a big difference
do not add yard work until you are fully recovered and then give it more time even after you feel recovered. Yard work and any bending over are very hard on lower back recovery. I know, happened to me.

Ignore the bone broth suggestion below - eww!! So sorry you've been dealing with so much discomfort and pain!! Hoping you're feeling better by now. 🙂
Just found this channel. I have osteoporosis and have had 3 fractures over the past 10 years. I was told people with osteoporosis should not do exercises that involve bending or twisting the spine. Is this true? My PT said it shouldn't be a problem but I want to be sure I'm safe. Thank you.
Yes, you do need to be careful with how you move. The exercises I talk about in the video are safe. Here's another video you may find helpful th-cam.com/video/_T5h5RsVDmc/w-d-xo.html
Very nice easy and clear instructions my mom has osteoporosis so I’m starting these this week! Thanks
Very welcome!
Very well explained and illustrated. The gent speaking has a very clear voice as well. I will stick with him!
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
I have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis but as I understand it, it is not muscle I need to strengthen but bones, so I was told weight bearing exercise like walking ( which I’ve always done ) I walk my dog 7k a day, and weights, so that my osteoblasts get to work!
I’m taking bone grown from garden of life have frieds that they say it really work their score was so much better hopping mines to
Muscles help control protect the bones..knee pain..knee muscles will support that joint. Walking is the best for sure..
I think it would be helpful to know for each exercise - what specific bone is being strengthened.
Thank you for video ❤
I have OSTEOPOROSIS in Spine ..... now i have fracture in spine 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Happy to help!
I had polio as an 8-year-old. I recovered but now I have Post Polio Syndrome. I am 82. While I was on HRT my bone scan was encouraging. But when I had Breast cancer I had to stop HRT. Now I have osteoporosis. I can do the first two exercises, but my left side is paralysed and I am lacking in gluteus maximus on that side. Also my leg is completely paralysed from the knee down so I cannot do heel raises on that side. I worry about breaking my femur. I wear callipers and cannot walk much.
Thank you for this video. Question: Does swimming four times a week equal the same as these weight bearing exercises? I swim all four strokes, four times a week, averaging 2 miles each time. I can't find an answer on the internet to the benefits of swimming. The water acts as resistance and I am building up muscle, but do you have to have body weight on your bones to help with severe osteopenia?
Hello Wendy, great job swimming 4 days per week, that's awesome! And while you are building muscle with the resistance of the water, you should still do land based strengthening exercises 2 times per week.
Excellent video. Clear, concise with helpful hints and options without being too overwhelming. Thanks!
You are very welcome Kelly!

Thank you. I really appreciate this instructional video. I wish there were some good, fun and safe exercise routines for people with Osteoporosis, like there are for cardio, dance and walking. Just a thought.
With an app on your phone you can set up a playlist with the kind of music you find invigorating, motivational and fun. Match the kind of music you want to each exercise, ( or group of exercises). It may take a bit of trial and error, but once you set it up ( and have your exercises memorized in order of the music), you are good to go!
If you don't have a phone with which you can set this up, just put on a CD ( old school). Good Luck and have fun!

Another question. How strong a band should one get to start? I am a 78 year old woman who has not done strengthening exercises before although I did yoga.
Great question, I would get a 3-pack of bands, different colors are different strength. Start with the Yellow (usually the lightest) and build up slowly as you get stronger.
Ideally should we be having physiotherapy treatment for osteoporosis? My name is Brigid and am using my husbands phone
Hello ,ur Vedios are so informative…thank u so much
I am 30 yrs old n just found out that I have osteopenia…. Em very depressed… is it completely reversible at this age .my T-score is -2.2 in spine n -1.2 on right hip

Your exercises are easy for me except for that chair squat you perform with a big smile, lucky you. Sometimes it takes me over an hour to get up from my chair and this is even with armrests and after having taken 2 Advil. I can't believe how so many people complaining about their physical problems seem to have no problem with chair squats. Squatting has to be one of the most difficult exercises, second only to getting up from the floor.
Thank you! this is my first time here! I am so grateful I found your videos!
You are so welcome Ramona, happy to help!
I love these... ive done some of the wall sets.... I have fibromylagia... must use care w.my muscles so as to not cause muscle pain...will share your video so i can do it ...
Awesome, good luck!
May be too late, but I have no other choice than to save my Bones. Finally AGREED to medication. Prolia. For several years I was prescribed Fosamax, picked up the prescriptions, but NEVER took one pill. I saw it as battery acid. 73, no meds, active, played 54 holes of golf over 3 days a week ago. No pain. No symptoms. New Doc who said. "You gotta do something". Please, trust me. Just took the first injection. Can exercise really rebuild bone?
In my opinion, exercise (especially weightlifting) is a critical part of helping to manage osteoporosis whether you take the medication or not. We need strong muscles as we age! Best wishes
Can you please give me exercises suitable for osteoporosis with a fractured L1 from a big fall. It's been almost 4 months since my fall and my fracture is not healing. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.

I'm 70 with osteoporosis. I'm vegan and get plenty protein. I walk 30 minutes most days. No meds except vitamin D. I've started your exercises. I want to add a weighted vest to my walking. What weight would you recommend? I was thinking 8 lbs. Thanks so much for your videos.
Hmmmm ... good question about the weighted vest! I hope they answer. I wonder if hand weights would be recommended instead or in addition to a weighted vest ... ? Stay well! 🙂
Hello Gail, great question. I would start at 3-5lbs and let your body get use to the extra “weight”. Better to be safe than too sore. Keep up all the good work!!
@@tkenglander6226 It seems like the vest would affect the overall body. Hope so anyway
Great info! I am 82, have hyper parathyroid issue. I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis in my left arm & osteopenia in my spine. I would really like to avoid those drugs so these exercise should really help. I already walk at least 30 minutes a day but knew I needed to add upper body exercise. These will be a great start.
What do you think about walking with poles? Should I add walking poles to my regular walk?
Great exercises I can do it at home wthout going to the gym. Thanks
