5 exercises to build stronger bones with osteoporosis
Certain exercises might not be building stronger bones like you thought....🦴
Research has shown you need two things in order to be effective at increasing bone density with osteoporosis. The 5 exercises in this video incorporate these strategies to maximize the benefit and help you to live an active life while preventing fractures. According to the research, exercises for osteoporosis can be one of the most powerful tools in improving bone density and preventing fractures.
Join Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, physical therapist and osteoarthritis specialist as she shows you the best osteoporosis exercises. The key is make sure the movements make you feel good, that you are consistent and aim for 2-3 times per week. In order for exercises for osteoporosis to be effective, you have to make sure you are challenging your body enough and in the right ways.
It's important that these exercises help you to exceed forces that your body is used to during daily activities. With both high intensity and high impact exercises, your bones can strengthen in the best ways, especially in the hip and the spine.

Exercise 5: There is a very similar combat drill we do all the time, using opposite sides. EG: Step right and punch left/ Step left and punch right. Simulates slipping away from the attack and simultaneously executing a counter-attack. Just FYI. ;)
Thanks Elisa
Thank you so much. I like that I have your routine to follow.
I’ve been following and doing your workout videos for a year, so these moves were familiar, but I love that you broke them down and gave specific reasons on why each are important for those of us with osteoporosis. Thank you for another super helpful video! You’re the best!

I'm the same age and have osteoporosis. I have hip pain if I walk for too long as well. It was diagnosed as bursitis/Greater Troncheratic pain. The exercises I was given to help this condition were to strengthen the butt muscles. Hope it's the same for you and not anything more serious. @user-px3oh7zp3u

This is my first time seeing one of your videos, and it came up in the suggestions I suppose because I’m looking for osteoporosis friendly workouts. I just had to tell you that you gave the very best instruction on a wall push up ever. I’ve always wondered if I was standing too close or too far. How easy it was when you said arms length and then half a step….Thank You! I’m definite going to follow you for more osteoporosis workouts!

Great exercises! I really appreciate the selection of options. I have RA and osteo, along with having had some joint replacements. I can't do the high impact/intensity anymore that I was doing in my younger years. I believe I can do most, if not all, the different exercises shared in your video. Thank you!!

I love your videos! My only concern is the interruptions with ads. I know that you KZread creators have some control over this and I’ve noticed that my favorite, KZread yoga instructor is never having a commercial in the middle of a video. One of these yoga instructors told me that she makes enough money on KZread with the videos that come before the start of her video and after, and I wonder if this is something you would consider doing?
I love your channel...will be trying this soon

Thank you. I have been diagnosed with osteopina and my dr has recommended medication. I have been taking the recommended supplements and been on my own in figuring out the exercises. This will be a great help. I used to hike a lot and backpack some, although at 69 I am not so active. Seems the yoga and walking the dog arent really helping the bone density. I am excited about doing this routine. Thanks again

Hi Alyssa, thank you for these exercises to target bone loss. Unfortunately I’m on an estrogen blocker for five years post surgery/chemo and radio for breast cancer. Letrozole leaches bone mass 🙁 and I have found out via a bone density test I have osteopenic hips 😕. I walk around an hour a day and I incorporate 20-30 mins of slow++ jogging during the walks. Would this help too? 🙏🏻

Really depends on how it feels and the strength you have. Start soft then increase as you’re able.
I’m very active. I weight lift 5-7 days a week. I do floor push ups and I practice yoga daily. I’m a former runner but am injury has kept me from this the past year. I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis @ age 58. I plan to add some of your stomping exercises but what I want to know is am ok to keep fight what I’m doing?
I just found you and completed two of your videos. Thank you for posting exercises that we can do from our homes. I had a Dexa 1.5 years ago at 58 and was told I have osteoporosis throughout my body. I’ve tried multiple drugs. They wanted to do the yearly injections, but I don’t want injections. I started Ibandronate again. I’m hoping with my new diet and exercise program, I can stop the drugs.

How do you do high intensity exercise when you have a heart condition?
Can you do these and the stomping if you’ve just gotten over three compression fractures that were burst fractures. I thought I’d read not to do jumping or stomping etc.
Does it matter if I do these on low pile carpet or on tiled floors?
I wonder if there is any cure for belching or burping with arthritis. Is is so painful thank you
