I'm continuing to gather resources, although I find myself remembering enough exercises to make up a routine without using any of them as I exercise. I continue to do yoga every day and weight training 3 days a week. I wish I could afford a personal trainer, but I'm grateful for the information freely available online.
VeryWell.com has an illustrated list of 10 that provide a whole body workout (though I don't do the last one at all) that is very doable and includes instructions for increasing the difficulty level as you are able. They also have a 30-minute whole body exercise plan. It's 16 steps, and I don't do #s 14 or 15.
AmericanBoneHealth.org has an exercise plan that's easy to do and helpful in strengthening the whole body. There are 15 exercises in the series, and they include some old favorites like the bridge and the pelvic tilt and squats and some I'd never done before.
MelioGuide.com has lists of appropriate exercises for people with osteoporosis. They are divided into ability levels and most -but not all- have links to instructions. There are numerous videos demonstrating the exercises she recommends at her Youtube channel.

It's great that you exercise so often and thanks for recommending these online classes too 😀. I enjoy exercise too and as you probably know I do a lot of walking and during the summer we are always out on our tandem 😁. We tend to be fair weather cyclists though (so we avoid the rain) ... lol! And I really really enjoy the aerobics exercise class I do once a week too! Happy Friday and have a great weekend! J 😊
ReplyDeleteI quit bicycling when I got my osteopenia diagnosis out of fear of falling, but I love walking. It's great exercise, but I -like you- don't walk in the rain. Or if it's too cold. Brrrrr! I have trouble getting aerobic exercise :( I don't like classes, and I don't run. Staying active is important :)

ReplyDeleteI need to try yoga. I know so many people do it. I am definitely a walker though. My biggest issue during the winter when the winter snow/ice makes it hard to walk. Happy weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI love yoga, and there are so many resources online. I use a lot of youtube videos for yoga practice.
