Thank you I was told not to been forward at all and I’m like well how I post to do that because they said it can break your back. I’ve been doing it for a long time and add exercises but now I’m trying to be very careful with what I do but I’ve been trying to train as hard as possible until they tell me I can’t another thing they say is to stop wearing using heavy weights but there’s a lot of confusion because there’s some research that heavier weights are better
Thank you so much for addressing osteoporosis exercises for seniors! So glad I found your channel today!!! You explain everything perfectly! Just what I needed!!💪🌟
I am a 72 y/o women in good health but I’m slender and have osteoporosis- I am loving your videos. You Make things very doable- thanks. I’m in portland and love Bellingham too. Thanks again
Thank. you ! I've just been diagnosed with osteoporosis and am in process of making diet and exercise changes. Your straight-forward, clear approach and instruction and wisdom has been very very helpful! I do have an issue with my job, which is doing laundry for a tiny home campground, with much bending and folding forward. Praying for an exit strategy and much grace and wisdom. Thank you again!
Video is very encouraging! I feel I have the hip hinge mastered. I have increased my weights to 8lb dumbbells doing dead lifts 3 sets of 10, 4 times a week. My workout includes shoulder presses, bicep curles, triceps and heel drops. 3 months of this but can't seem to improve strength beyond the 16lbs.
You are doing great! Are you tracking your protein? I have a video on the channel that talks specifically about how much you need. If you feel like you’re not gaining strength, it could be you need to up your protein.
I recently found you and am a new subscriber. You are so smart and helpful! Thank you for what you do. May God bless you and your family. We so appreciate you!!
I need that door thing to hang from, I have Neurofibromatosis type 1, which affects my bones, scoliosis, and osteoporosis, so I have to work all the harder to not get worse. I know hanging helps when my back feels so stiff. Thanks for all your help.
I hip hinge now days after my diagnosis of osteoporosis. I am also good at bar hanging at the gym, besides I am small. I have been weight training at the gym 2 to 3 times a week with some fast and rough walking on the other days. Things feel better, and I am stronger. I have been flexible all my life and used t exercise a lot in my younger years. Nice teaching! I have learned them all, and I feel safe, but I had to educate and do the research myself. Most therapist and drs do not know about safety when it comes to osteoporosis.
Hi! I love your videos and I've started to practice some of your exercises. I have osteoporosis and my doctor recommended me yoga, but after watching your videos I changed my mind about it, twisting my spine, all the pressure over my body I think yoga it's not the best exercise, what do you think? Am I wrong? Thanks for all your tips, blessings
Hello Yoly, yes some yoga poses can be difficult on your spine. I would recommend a more traditional weight training program where you can keep your spine in a neutral position. Good luck!
your saying deadlifting / hip hinging with high loads is completley safe for osteoporosis? I was wondering because it looks similar to yoga poses that aren't + I read rounding the spine isn't...how about hyperextensions?
Thank you so much! I recommend trying to get .7 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. For example, a 130 pound person would need 91 grams per day (.7 x 130 = 91) I know you are plant based, but a whey protein is what I recommend. I personally use Thorne supplements and you can save 20% off of the retail price at checkout with this link s.thorne.com/F5gGU. Best wishes and keep on exercising!
You are very welcome Jeanne. 3 to 4 sets of 8 to 15 repetitions with high intensity meaning the last few repetitions should be a little bit challenging but not painful. Good luck, keep exercising!
Recently found your channel and enjoying it! I'm considering purchasing a small indoor rebounder. What are your thoughts on how helpful this is for slowing osteopenia?
Hi Ginny, welcome to the channel! A rebounder is great exercise for balance and cardio But not for bone building. It’s not enough “impact” . So it’s nice to have in your program but you do need to strengthen also with weights. Does this make sense?
@@FrontRowwithEd Yes, makes sense. I've heard this, but was hoping, lol. I also do strength workouts with dumbbells and will be incorporating more strength as I watch your videos. Thank you!

Hello i am writing you from France, i like your vidéos vers much. I havé one question. Can i do your excercises bécause i havé à settling of vertébrae. Thank you very much for your answer.
Just found your excellent videos on RUclips. I watched 6 tonight and was so inspired I started doing the exercises straight away! I have now subscribed so I can keep up to date. My one concern is that I have osteopenia and in every 'Pilates for Seniors' session I attend we do the 'monkey walk' - forward bending to the floor then walking hands out and doing press-ups (diff options according to abilities). Now I'm thinking that I shouldn't be doing this type of exercise? Plus several other exercises we do which are designed to strengthen core muscles whilst lying on one's back, now seem to be in contradiction to what you are recommending. I'm a bit confused. I do need to improve my core strength and balance so I thought by attending a weekly Pilates session I was being proactive for my health. Now I'm not so sure. Any words of advice?
Hello Chris, welcome to the channel! I would strengthen your core as in this video ruclips.net/video/ke4Jh7la6AI/видео.html and avoid these movements ruclips.net/video/_T5h5RsVDmc/видео.html. I know it can be confusing at times but many pilaf and yoga teachers don’t know about the risk factors for those with bone density issues. Maybe have your teacher watch the videos also. Good luck!
@@FrontRowwithEd Wow such a speedy response! I will discuss this with my Pilates teacher. She often suggests alternate moves so this is a case where l need something different. Thanks again so much - much appreciated. I’ve also forwarded your RUclips clip about ‘getting up and down’ to my Exercise teacher who runs group sessions for seniors. She is a retired physio herself so she may know the alt method but as she is thinking about using mats this might be helpful for many in the group!
Thankyou I have had fractures in my wrists. One has a plate repairing the break and the other was a simple fracture no surgery. Should I be doing the Hanging?
Hi, thanks for your videos. I have a question. I am a 66 yr. old woman and work out with weights and walk regularly alternating 6-7 days per week. I would like your opinion on using a weighted vest for walking and to find out whether or not it could help with Osteoporosis or not. I have Osteoporosis in my hips. Thoughts??
Great question! Although the literature is mixed on the effects of a weighted vest on bone density, I do recommend them for clients. The key is to start with light weight, evenly distributed in the front and back, 4 lbs as an example. Only wear it with walking, not household chores. Expect to have some shoulder soreness when you start, but it should be get better. And then slowly increase the weights gradually. It takes a bit for our bodies to get adapted to the "new" sudden weight gain :)
Hi, I have severe osteoporosis for years and am 70. Also have polio affecting my right hip and walk with a limp. My muscles are also very weak and chronic pain. I swim almost everyday. Does osteoporosis cause pain.? Go to gym twice a week to do bike and rowing machine. My core is very weak and because of polio, it’s very hard to strengthen it. Keeping that in mind, can you recommend any exercises. Thank you so much.
It's a great video. I have frozen shoulders( which I'm working hard and improved the span very well) as well as wear and tear in this area. Can I do small weight lifting and balancing body weight on shoulders on a bed headboard to bring shoulder blades together. PLEASE advice I'm 63 and fit
Hello Arlene, you can check out all of my osteoporosis offerings here ruclips.net/p/PL7iadTWb0ExqS-wsl0ssK7jKVwqkRTTlJ You will find stretches here, good luck!
Hi I have osteoporosis and it’s very severe, I’m taking Vitamin D, K2 , dumbbell exercises and I drink Almond milk. Is that good? What’s the difference between D3 and Vitamin D. Thanks in advance.
Will hanging hurt your spine if you have osteoporosis? I read that you should not use an inversion table and this hanging seems that it might have a similar effect? Thanks! I am grateful for your videos.
Great question, inversion table is different though from hanging. Hanging is safe but like a show in the video I would recommend a gradual hanging not just jumping up into a bar but hang onto a bar and then slowly still keep your feet on the ground and then a little bit at a time, try to un wait your legs and put more weight on your arms.
I do squats with 8 or 12 lbs dumbbells. Is that the same thing as Exercise #2? And instead of a band can I use dumbbells for #3? I also walk with a 15 lbs weighted vest 5-6x day for 50 mins.(I'm 5.2/125lbs) Hoping this helps my osteopenia too.
Hi Angela, sounds like you are doing great! No, the hip hinge is different than the squat so add it in to program. I love the weighted vest with you walks. And you do need a band as this offers horizontal resistance versus vertical resistance with dumbbells. Does this make sense?
@@FrontRowwithEd Yes, thank you! I'm also NOT taking any meds or calcium supplements as I've read/researched the horror stories. But I do try hard to get 1200 mg of calcium per day via food - it's not easy. Plus taking d3/k2. Also looking to magnesium. Besides adding these new exercises to my routine - squats, lunges, overhead presses, am I missing any other weighed exercise? Been doing the weighted vest since last oct. Looking to add another 3 lb block soon. 18 lbs may be my limit based on body weight. (Read 15% max...) Appreciate all your videos on this!
@@angelalitterio Like you I’ve done deep dive (for many yrs) on both drugs and supplements and bal of evidence shows Ca up to 700-800mg safe and prob helps but after risk vs benefit incr. Chronic use of drugs incl PPIs/acid blockers, glucosteroids/prednisone, ibuprofen, opioids effect bones and health incl by depleting key minerals esp Ca and damaging GI mucus lining. Some like me may need supplement. I reviewed w/my specialist. New review on Vit D similar: The health effects of vitamin D supplementation: evidence from human studies by journal Nature 2022. Also 2008 study: Vitamin D Deficiency Study Raises New Questions About Disease And Supplements (Autoimmunity Research Foundation.) Even w/K2 I’m now more cautious w/supplements in gen. I’ve done same deep dive on protein and type. Nutrition Made Simple did video on it. He’s very unbiased PhD in nutrition and lists studies he cites to read yourself and decide. ✌️
Great video! I had rotator cuff surgery about 10 years ago plus 2 more procedures for scar tissue to regain my full ROM. So I am very protective of that shoulder at the gym. Is it safe for me to do exercise 1?
Hello and thank you! In addition to teaching yoga, I am starting to focus on strength training, and now the other exercises you recommend. I am wondering your thoughts on which postures I should consider avoiding or modifying ?
When you get in your late 60 and 70' repetition is very irritating. I am very athletic I sail competitively a laser which is a single handled Olympic class sailing boat, the most athletic sailing boat. For me repetition is not an option but holding position with muscle engaged is more efficient and does not produce the pain of inflammation that repetition does. I am 70.
Thank you. I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and want to start with simple exercises. Your videos are very helpful. Could you recommend what weight resistance level and band length I should start with for the resistance band? All this is new to me. Thanks!!
Hello Connie, you are very welcome. I would start with yellow band (the lightest) and 3-5 lbs. You should use weights or resistance that make 8-10 repetitions challenging but not painful. Good luck!
There are so, so many videos on here about osteoporosis and exercise. I have always exercised so I wasn’t looking for a complete workout just something to add on to what I have been doing. Always short on time so this will fit in to what I can get done in the morning hours. Thank you

@@FrontRowwithEd Thank you so much for your quick and helpful reply!! Really appreciate it. ❤️
@connie5619 Welcome 👍
Can most of the exercises you show be used for stroke patients.
I would consult a physiotherapist first, because no two stroke patients percent the same. Best wishes and speedy recovery.
Can these exercises be done if one has scoliosis
It depends. Are any of the exercises painful and how involved is your scoliosis?
do I need to train close to failure?
Great question! No, but the last few reps should be hard. I often say "keep 2 in the tank"
Maybe you said this, but, should we be doing these daily, 3x daily, something like that?
No, 3 times per week with high intensity for your weight training
❤❤
Hope it helps!
There are so, so many videos on here about osteoporosis and exercise. I have always exercised so I wasn’t looking for a complete workout just something to add on to what I have been doing. Always short on time so this will fit in to what I can get done in the morning hours. Thank you
