Hmmm....My doctor and physical therapist have said that rounding through your upper back, or anywhere in the back, is not recommended for the spine of an osteoporosis patient. I always modify that by trying to focus on keeping my spine as straight as I can, instead of rounding.

@KendraFitzgerald

11 ай бұрын

Yes! Keeping the back straight is extremely important, especially in not rounding forward.

Great workout. I have a ? about "Cat Cow". Should someone with osteoporosis do the cat pose? Seems like that is rounding your back with I didn't think we should do.

@KendraFitzgerald

Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for this question Nancee, it's a great one. People with osteoporosis can do cat / cow modified, with a very modified 'rounding' of the back (not a lot of rounding, with more emphasis on the 'cow' extension). I'm realizing I did not do a great job of instructing that in the video, so I'm going to edit it out. Video is processing now, and then I'll do a new video on how to do cat / cow modifications for osteoporosis! :)

Thanks for this great strength training video. May you elaborate what is meant by ‘ let yr tailbone be heavy’? Does it mean squeezing them or letting go?

@KendraFitzgerald

You're so welcome! Great question. "Tailbone heavy" means to let it go and think of your hips tucking 'under' a bit - mostly bringing it toward neutral. Does that make sense?

I am 65 yo and just been diagnosed with osteoporosis from a recent bone density scan. wanted to try your exercise on this video but am wondering if there is another video to get me started as a beginner since I feel like these exercises is a bit intense and maybe for someone who has some knowledge on laying on the mat and stretching or even some yoga techniques. Is it jumping into the fire for me to follow this exercise video for me who is a senior that does not do daily exercises.

Hi! Yes, I have a separate yoga video that would be a perfect place to start! Check it out here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eHmTuZijfdbUgLw.html Practice with this video for several months and then you could try the strengthening video without weight. Let me know how it goes and thanks for practicing with me!

These exercises are great! One question... I have slight pain in my lower left side of my back that I have physical therapy instructions on how to fix. I do notice that it flares up since I am doing these exercises (even though my posture is correct). I think that I am working muscles that haven't been worked so hard bf. Just looking for any feedback on this.

@KendraFitzgerald

5 ай бұрын

Hi! Without seeing you move in real time it's hard to give you specific feedback, but one thing you might look into is making sure that you can feel your glutes in all of these exercises. If not, check with your hip positioning forward and back. If you're too far in one direction, it can throw into your lower back. I know this is vague without seeing you in real life. If you need more support just let me know!

you mentioned 25lbs. My largest weight I have is 3lbs just beginning weights again. 78 with Osteopenia and kyphosis. I'm in good shape for my age but not sure about the weights yet and how much to lift.

So glad you wrote in - start with what feels comfortable for sure! Start with your 3lb weights, and if you feel strong with that, increase in small increments until you get to a weight that feels doable for 10-12 reps. If you can do 30 reps and feel nothing, it's too light. :) You've got this!

I appreciate your feedback! I've had requests for both - that mirror image is preferred (I say the opposite of how I'm moving so the viewer are moving in the same direction as me, as in this video) or I do the movements to my left / right which appears as opposite to what the viewer sees. Different people prefer different views, so I'm doing my best to alternate between the two. Thank you again for your feedback!

I have been told in no way with osteoporosis should you bend over or twist spine when exercising

@KendraFitzgerald

3 ай бұрын

Bending over with a curved spine is not recommended. Flexing at the hips and hip hinging can be a very safe way to bend forward with a straight spine, and supports the strength of your hips. A great deal of research has also gone into the benefits of correct twisting with osteoporosis. You can read more on both from Dr. Fishman here: yogauonline.com/yoga-practice-teaching-tips/yoga-teaching/to-twist-or-not-to-twist-dr-loren-fishman-weighs-in-on-safe-yoga-postures-for-osteoporosis-in-the-new-york-times/
