Thank you for another great video on the upper spine…I have purchased your videos for the ACTIVE and Day one and two and while doing those two days, I am able to do all and feel comfortable but the third day I am struggling with the prone exercises where you are doing the M and the W, I can’t seem to lift my head off the floor without being so uncomfortable, I am lifting the arms without lifting the head which I hope is still giving me some strength in that area, I will continue with building up some strength but I was disappointed that I could not do these the way they needed to be done but I am great on all the others…keep building us up one vertebrae at a time!

Hi can a Spane injury be healed?

I never knew about the thoracic osteoporosis. Why do the drs not address this fundamental knowledge. It is so logical and yet, not a single word! Your video is so caring and so knowledgeable. Thank you. 💗

So informative. Thank you.

Hi Margaret, Thanks so much for this video. I have osteoporosis in the spine so this is very useful for me. Can you please clarify, do the impactful exercises like running then not worth doing if the problem is in the spine? So you would recommend weightlifting primarily?

I loved your explanetion,thank you Maggie,what about Tai Chi practice,has any help to osteoporosis ?🙏👍

Hi Margaret, and this video when you were talking about the importance of upper body strength, is it more important to be getting the upper body strength sitting down or standing up? Or does it matter? Thank you.

There are no links shown on the video about the related exercises?

Previously bone density studies on female athletes have shown that rowers had denser lumbar vertebrae.

I really enjoyed your blog on keeping our bones strong as we age that makes lots of sense in how we exercise. I’ve been doing Yoga and now Pilates as well. Following your advise and movements will help immensely. I feel grateful to have found your videos. You’re just what I needed at this time feeling bewildered from a diagnosis of high risk fractures caused by Osteopenia. Thank you for allowing me to follow you! 🌈👍🤗

Thanks Margaret, I have both of your books. I also train in Australia using the Liftmor method, so I am doing my best. This Wednesday I have my follow-up scan after 12 months. I also take Vit D and get 1300mg calcium per day from food. So it will be interesting to see how my scan goes.

@@christinet488 that’s amazing. I am searching for solutions for my low bone density which is getting worse. I’m ordering Margaret’s book for sure and delving into her website. I’m trying to figure out what kind of diet I can follow but it’s all so complicated.I’m going to look into the lift more program to see if I can find it here in Texas USA.. if you are willing to share any tips on diet or anything else you did I would love to hear about it. I’m so afraid. I did a popular machine based program at a location here in austin that was really expensive for a year and my bone density still went down but I had my second scan on a different machine so not sure if that matters. I would love to know any tips you can share on what you did for such great results.You here different things plant based versus others and it’s so hard to know what to do.

How was your check up?

Hi Margaret. I've been doing your better bones exercise program for many months/year-ish. I have progressed starting with the 2nd level (I forget what it's called... ). I'm at the elite level but often wonder how much weight, in dumbells, that I should he lifting. When doing the overhead lift while stepping up, I'm using 8lbs quite easily, but not sure in regards to micro trauma how heavy I should go. Thoughts? And thank you

@margaretmartinpt

Congrats on progressing through the program. If you are able to maintain good form. Have no pain with lifting and are at a low to moderate fracture risk you can lift to a weight that allow you to fatigue within 8 reps. If you are not comfortable increasing your weight with the step up - break up the step up and the overhead lift. Do them as two separate exercises. You can also challenge yourself with the cadence, 2nd and 3rd tip: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dp9tuceij9TahKw.html I hope this helps. Stay safe. keep strong. Margaret
