Osteoporosis Therapy Exercises

Today I am going to talk about how to start your osteoporosis therapy exercises program. Exercise for Better Bones is my prescriptive exercise program for people with osteoporosis. I invited several clients to talk about their experience with their program. Both Josephine and Ken had specific bone health challenges but had specific needs.

Josephine wanted a program that she could fit into her lifestyle. She did not want to go to the gym at night and preferred a home-based exercise program. Ken came to realize the importance of posture and form in his exercise program. His osteoporosis required that he maintain a good posture and he had to change the way he moved.

Osteoporosis Therapy Exercises Prescriptive Program

Today you have the opportunity to listen to users of the Exercise for Better Bones. Let’s start with Josephine and then hear Ken speak about his experiences.

Josephine: One of the things about doing this program is that, now it’s part of everyday. I found different things to do, and exercises that I actually enjoy doing, that I can do on a daily basis and fit into my routine.

Any time I tried it in the past I might have done it for few weeks and then stopped. But this time, I think just because of the nature of the exercises and once I’m particular with thinking about some of the strength ones and some of the cardiovascular.

Walking and Cardiovascular

Walking and building up my stamina certainly has improved over the six months.

Basically the way my program works is in fact, I can do it all in my bedroom.

Often what happens is, I’ve been out for a walk. I’ve done some cardiovascular exercise and then I come back and it’s with the use of a ball, basically, in my own bedroom space. I’m able to work through all of the exercises.

The biggest drawback to going to gym for me was that you had to go out again in the evening. In order to keep doing it, I think being in the comfort of your own home is terrific, and it’s a lot easier to do it.

All my exercises actually can be done in the space that’s there within the bedroom. My program requires a small amount of space and very little equipment.

Ken: Swimming have been my form of exercise virtue all my life. I swam competitively when I was young, both high school and university, and continued.

If I had lose weight or I had to get in shape I went to the pool, and swam some laps. And, I always considered that…I think that was part of the shock.

I always considered that to be the best of all exercise and I kept everything going. To realize that there was a major component that was lacking in that. My exercise had to change.

Margaret: The MelioGuide Exercise for Better Bones program provides you with a detailed list of exercises based on your activity level and fracture risk. We identify the bones and muscles that are targeted in each exercise, provide clear directions of how to perform with safe form, as well as detailed exercise schedules.

Stronger Bones, Stronger Body Workout Video

After I produced the Exercise for Better Bones prescriptive osteoporosis exercise program I had many requests for a home workout program to complement Exercise for Better Bones.

A comprehensive list of videos exist that demonstrate the exercises in Exercise for Better Bones.

But even when I made those videos available, my readers and clients still wanted an easy to follow home video series that they could use several times a week. That lead to me producing Stronger Bones, Stronger Body and other home exercise workouts for flexibility, balance, aerobics and yoga.

I have a page dedicated to my home exercise videos.

Here is a sample of the exercises in Stronger Bones, Stronger Body.

You can learn more about the workout video on the page Stronger Bones, Stronger Body.
