Thank you I've been back on my feet after a broken ankle a year ago, balance is an issue for me what with having limited mobility in my ankle I'm going to give these exercises a try. I will share my progress in 6 weeks. 6weeks is just the amount of time I choose.😊 thank you.

I watch YouTUbe channels when I exercise. I am being entertained/educated and getting healthier all at once. Makes the process much less boring!

Hello Will. Been following your channel for some months now. Am so grateful to you for doing these videos. Your easy-to-follow exercises and cool tips are definitely helping to keep my 62-year old self in top form 😊 ♥️ More power to you! Take good care always.

Thank you so much. I have osteoporosis on my lumbar spine. I have been walking. I will definitely add these five steps to improve balance and strengthen my muscles and bones. I wish all physiotherapist explained everything so simply.❤

Clear, detailed exercises with viewing of proper movements.

Awesome! I have added these exercises to my daily routine. I can’t thank you enough for such helpful videos. I keep reminding myself - taking care of muscles and bones is similar to eating food. We can’t eat just once a week - it has to be done at least twice or three times a day. We have to find time for exercises every day to see good results. Thanks a lot!! 🙏🙏

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🦴 *Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by a loss of bone density, making bones thinner and more susceptible to fractures, especially common in individuals over 60, particularly women.* 02:29 💪 *Slow sit to stand exercises are beneficial for strengthening important lower limb muscles like quads and glutes, crucial for daily movements and bone health. Adding weights can further stimulate bone growth but should be done safely under supervision.* 05:26 🏋️‍♀️ *Split squats in weightbearing positions are effective for strengthening muscles and bones, helping improve bone density especially when progressed from basic to more challenging variations with added weights.* 08:37 ⚖️ *Single leg stands improve balance, crucial for preventing falls and subsequent fractures in individuals with osteoporosis, with progressions ranging from single leg stands to tandem stands to closed stance stands.* 11:37 🚶 *Walking is a fundamental weightbearing exercise that promotes stronger bone mineral density, with a recommended goal of over 5,000 steps per day, gradually increasing to improve stamina and bone health.* Made with HARPA AI

Excellent!!

Hi Will don't have osteoporosis, minus 1.2, so osteopenia but because of hip fracture was told to take Prolia and was read the riot act of statistical deaths due to all cause mortality due to this event. I know consult your doctor but this is rubbish according to me and the research I did. I do take the following supplements plus weight bearing exercise essential as I can safely follow: Vit D3, some calcium; vit K M7 essential. When admitted to surgery because I live in a cold country (Canada) the medical remarks not read by my doctor included: Vit D deficient, perhaps injection indicated. I wish more patients were able to read directly these reports. Meanwhile, you keep me going every day I did see a specialist and I (plus my dog) much better as I recently attested.

Coming back to add: these exercises make going up and down stairs so much easier!

Thanks, for a good video ! Simple & clear instructions. Was diagnosed with Osteoporosis while being treated for a spinal (annular) tear, by an Orthopaedist, which includes a daily, floor exercise routine, under the guidance of a Physiotherapist. Would it be advisable to add the Osteoporosis routine ? Or maybe during another time slot ? Already advised a

I have a T9 fracture. Compression of more than 50%. Been on bone building supplements. Calcium. Vit D plus risdronate but bone mass has been significantly decreased. I am doing a bit of weights, some postural exercises swimming physio osteo therapies.

Recently diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 77. I am using a Pilates recumbent machine at home daily. Also walk daily as weather permits. How would the effectiveness of that compare to this set of exercises you demonstrated here? Thank you for providing direction to this age group!! :)

Do you have actual videos of you doing the exercises? I would really like that for motivation

This may be a stupid question but here goes! Does the bone growth happen throughout your body or only in the area being actively exercised, ie the femur? Does the spine experience bone strengthening as a result the slow sit to stand? If not, how do you target your vertebrae?

Thank you for all your information. It’s been a hard road for me. I’m a truck driver in the United States for eight weeks. I’ve been dealing with bulging disc and sciatica pain down my left leg and tingling numbness in my left foot toes. I’ve gotten rid of my bed because it’s very very fluffy. It’s a hybrid 4 purple mattress and it’s way too soft for what I’m going through and it’s making it worse with your information. I’m hoping that changing my bed will help. Thank you for the great information. Also, if you can get your book on audible,, I’ll get it.

I had sciatica and herniated disc. My job was 8/10 driving . In pain for years. Taking painkillers . Started to do light weights despite being told to avoid certain positions and exercises . Also did hanging from a bar with straps to start . Toes on floor . I now lift weights ( nothing heavy ) but I can do most things I could at 55 that I could at 30 . Apart from natural aging aches and pains I only have slight numbness on my side of the right thigh . Toes and ass pain free , back pain free ( apart from natural aches . ) took 6 years to get to this

Much depends on your starting point. Medicare allows Dexa scans every two years. Bone forms slowly,but 2 years is a long time to wait for feedback. I’m considering having a Dexa this year and pay for it myself because I’d like to know if my program is successful in holding my numbers steady, or better yet, I’d like to see some improvement.

Hi, have very severe osteoporosis (spine:-3), could you show me what videos that I can watch to do exercise for my osteoporosis, thanks a lot ❤

I recently added walking to my exercise routine about three months ago. I really enjoy walking through my neighborhood. I do have osteoporosis and my question to you is, should I be doing weight lifting? I've been working out since 2005 on a regular basis. When Covid came along, I started following an exercise instructor on KZread using moderate dumb bells (about 7 to 10 lbs.) Should I continue doing these in addition to adding the exercises you recommend here? Thanks.

Is the step up exercise effective if have to hold one to the chair for support because I have problem in balancing?.

How sad aye, I'm metamorphosising, cleaning up my diet but yrs back, read "Feed your bones while you can"... Good advice, you cannot move without a strong skeleton!

I was under the impression that rebounding is another exercise that increases bone density...please discuss. Thank you

Thanks Will, please can you help me, I have osteoporosis - 5.9 bone density. Broken so many bones in the last few of years. My back twice now have cement on 2 vertebrae , my wrist, 4 ribs, my sternum, a toe, my hip and my tibula and fibula in one leg. Have been told not to lift anything more the 3 kilos which is a step up from the 2 kilo limited I was given at first diagnosis. Told not to wear any heels, not to ride a bike not to take a dog for a walk. Not to reach up high or bend down. What I want to know is what exercises can I do to strengthen my bones. I do have annual zolaronic acid infusions I'm in my 5th year. I'm able to walk around normally and want to do more. I just don't know what to do that will be safe. Its not nice being treated like a China cup that will break easily, I want to get my strength back. Thanks.

I had osteoarthritis & just had my knee replacement op but still in pain. What should i do?

Can we do these exercises everyday?

I've had 2 hip replacements one on each side and Arthritis in my knees. Do I need calcium also?

Is Goblet squat or split squat ok for patients with meniscus tear surgery after 8 weeks???

how heavy do I have to do to increase bone density? Do I have to train close to failure?

Single leg stand may be easier if the balance system in one of your ears is shot perhaps by Menieres Disease for example if the back of the hand is used against the back of the chair as a balance reference. I have used this as a balance tool during vertigo sessions when I desperately must eliminate a problem. It will probably work for both ears bad, too. {^_^}
