I just started to view your videos, since I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis. I refuse to take bone-building infusions as suggested by my doctor. Please continue to feature your exercise videos to help those of us who will fight this condition naturally. Thank you for all your help!
I agree. I won't take fosmax or any other osteoporosis meds. Good luck to you!😉
Me too refuse to take medication. Am glad I found this video. Thanks
Just found you. I have osteoporosis in my hip and osterpenia in my lumbar spine. My doctor said to do weight bearing exercises, so here I am!
I so agree with everyone here I was diagnosed about five years ago and I’m doing fine yeah I’m not taking any meds either. I think eating healthy and doing exercise hopefully that helps but I do believe exercise is extremely important, so thank you very much for your videos. Looking forward to the next one.❤
Those meds are scary 👍
My name is Patty and I'm 67 years old with osteoporosis. I would appreciate more osteoporosis exercises. I really enjoy the videos.
How many pounds are the weights you’re utilizing?
I'm 67 and was just diagnosed with Osteopenia. I need good resistance and weight bearing exercises to reverse my diagnosis. I did a search and stumbled on your video. It is a great starter video, and I plan to do one or two of your videos every day. Please focus on exercise for people with Osteopenia. Thank you.
I am 67 years old and was just diagnosed with osteoporosis. I find your videos wonderful, easy to follow. Please keep your osteoporosis videos coming!
Yes! I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis and am looking for regular strength training videos and diet suggestions too! Thank you!
I’m 66 and have been diagnosed as having some osteopenia and osteoporosis. My goal is to use diet, safe exercise, and certain vitamins to strengthen my bones and make them less prone to being brittle. I will not take a bisphosphonate.
2. Just had Bone Density Scan today first time. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. Came home and searched for weight bearing exercises for osteoporosis. Your video came up, very easy to follow. Did my first workout with you thanks.
I just turned 70 and have been diagnosed with osteoporosis since I was 62. I have not focussed enough on weight-bearing exercises so glad to find you!
I am 75 and was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my late forties. I've gained about 20 pounds in the last ten years due to not enough exercise. I'm doing the Keto diet along with intermittent fasting and doing a YT workout every day. I really appreciate weight-bearing exercises that are safe for me while still getting my heart rate up. Thanks so much. (May 2023)
I’m glad I read this because I suffer from osteoporosis from the age of 50 and I read that the life expectancy is 15 years for a woman so reading this you give me hope 👍thank you
Yes to more videos for osteo, please. Enjoyed this workout !
I have oteoporosis and will work hard to not take fosamax medication. im 84 female thank you
Thanks for watching!
Yes ostioperosis and arthritis and loving your videos thank you. 70 years old, watching from Australia.
I have osteoporosis and this is my first time in your class - found this by accident - soooo glad!!!!
Fabulous exercises for osteoporosis. I can follow along and feel positive. Please continue making these. Thank you.
Thanks for the exercises, I have osteoporosis and refuse to take medication, looking forward to more of your videos, Cornelia
I am 66 years old and I was just diagnosed with Osteoporosis. My doctor suggested weight-bearing exercises, so here I am! I will continue to watch and do your suggested exercises. Thank you!
2. First time with your video
Was diagnosed with osteoporosis last year at age 57
Thank you for this
It feels like a great start
I was also diagnosed at 57. I was told I am so severe that I'm beyond help. In the name of God, I rebuke that! I am taking supplements, diet change, and exercising every day.
Excellent!
Im 66 years old and was diagnosed with osteopenia . I really enjoy working out with you. You make it fun! ❤
Wonderful!
This is my first time watching and just diagnosed with osteoporosis at 63. Runs in my family and I'm praying against that family infirmity, exercising, and taking supplements.
Agree, amen.
Meg, I ❤ your combo exercises for bone health. I’d like to see more videos focused on osteoporosis. I have severe osteoporosis and severe scoliosis. Thank you, Diana
Great starter workout for me. I am a 66 yr. old woman. I just learned today that I have osteopenia and want to get stronger so it doesn't progress to osteoporosis. Thank you for the gentle, easy movements. Looking forward to checking out your channel. Thanks!
2. Just discovered your channel yesterday after my bone density scan results. Thank you for providing this very important service.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, watching replay
First time viewer. Diagnosed with osteoporosis recently. My job is pretty sedentary, so I am very happy to have this video for weight bearing exercise that I can do at home. So grateful!
2- Hi there Meg, Julee from the Big Island of Hawaii here. I do have osteoporosis so I love these weight bearing exercises. thank you so much
2. This is my first time watching…I am 53 and asked for a Dexascan in August and found out I have osteoporosis. I am doing Pilates three times a week but now want to add weight bearing exercises specific for osteoporosis for 3 days a week and I found your channel. I’m slightly worried to have this at 53 but my goal is to try hard for one year with exercises and changes to my supplements and HRT before trying Fosomax that was recommended by my Doctor. I really enjoy your slow calm pace because I’m rather intimidated by this diagnosis and nervous now to make certain movements. I can’t wait to find other videos that you may have!! 😊
Hi. I am 54 and just found out I have osteoporosis as well. You're not alone.
@@michellelieber2328 Were you surprised? I was so stunned and it took me awhile to not fear every move I made!
@@suanneamos4491 I apologize for not responding sooner! I was shocked because I thought I was doing all the right things: taking calcium & vitamin D supplements & I'd never had a broken bone. I was so freaked out when I got the test results, but now I'm determined to be active -- doing brisk walks, weights, etc. How are you doing now?
@@michellelieber2328 I did too! I took supplements and was doing Pilates and did Pure Barre before that so I’ve been active for years. I bought a jump rope with intentions of using it to create that stomping effect the is supposed to stimulate bone growth. I’ve yet to use it and really need to. I also was going to do heavy lifting as recommended by my doctor and I haven’t done that either. I need to really do those two things and stop saying “tomorrow”. I wanted to do a repeat dexa this summer at the one year mark but will maybe give myself another full year to do the added things I should have been doing since last summer. Ugh. I hate that I’m still scared of a fracture but disappointed I haven’t done all the things I should be yet. I should do some walking too!! Everything surely helps, right?
@@suanneamos4491 The jump rope & weights sound like great ideas. Start with a small, do-able goal (e.g. 5 min. of jump rope, 10 min. of weights) & do that for several days, to get into a routine. As it gets easier, you can add more time. Don't look back & beat yourself up. Just move forward! You can do it! Good luck.🙂
Just turned 80 and recently was diagnosed with osteoporosis in hip joint. These exercises are excellent. Thank you
I love your videos. Yes, more osteoporosis friendly videoes please!

I am 82 years young with newly diagnosed Osteoporosis. I watched this video for the first time yesterday, then today was much better and easier. And I will continue to watch. Because I don’t want to take drugs and I want to live a long healthy life. Thank you.

I am 74 years old and have been diagnosed with osteopenia in one hip. I really need to do weight bearing exercises, but they must be easy and short. I have a hard time being consistent if the workout is too complicated or long. Your videos are perfect! Thank you. I started with this one today and will try to do one each morning, building up to longer workouts.
You can do it! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks so much. I’m new and this is my second day.
I have osteoporosis, this is my first time watching. I loved the work out. My doctor is trying to convince me to get shots every month, I said no after all I have been reading. 5 years ago before I knew better she sent for recast infusions twice. Well I ended up with bone loss in and around my teeth. My periodontist said it is a side effect with the drugs for the bones it attacks your bones in your mouth, rare, but of course it happened to me. Well I have a scan next week of my bones I’m not looking forward to this, I’ve only been able to start exercises the past month. I’m 67 and feel so much older. Thank you for this video it gave me more confidence and I was able to do the workout.
Thanks for sharing! So glad to have you here! Thanks for joining in! 🥰

Hi! I recently found out that I have osteopenia. I'm 59 and my paternal grandmother had osteoporosis. This is my first time watching this video. I'm glad to find exercises that I can do to strengthen my bones. Thank you!
You can do it!
This is the first time watching your videos. I have osteoporosis, and I appreciate exercises that are doable and don’t require getting down in the floor. Thank you!
I have subscribed and yes, I do have osteoporosis
Thanks for watching 🙏☺️
Thank you for taking the Time to make this video for all of us who have osteoporosis.🌺
You're always welcome! Thanks for joining in! 🥰
First time watching.
I have osteoporosis at 60
I'm 73 yrs old and have been on Boniva for 4 yrs off and on, however still experiencing bone loss. Sent to a Rheumatologist and PX Evenity. Have not taken it per reviews on side effects. I have been active since my 20's thru my 40's with step aerobics & weight training. Once I turned 50 I started running and participated in half marathon til I was in my 60. I have done yoga on and off for 20 yrs and returned to 3 days a week to yoga once I retired at 65. I have also added Tai Chi to my routine for 2 days a week. I have decided to go back to weight bearing exercises and have found your video to be very informative. I would very much like to see more videos that you can offer. My goal is to increase bone mass naturally for 12 months before I reconsider Evenity or any other meds.
This is what I've been looking for. I am 62 and have osteoporosis and am a caregiver for my 97 yr old Dad. These are quick easy exercises to do in a few minutes. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! 🙏
I have osteoporosis, diagnosed in my 50’s now in my 60’s. Mom had it and my two sisters also have it. Trying to deal with it without meds so always glad to see osteoporosis exercise videos. 😊
Thank you for your videos. I am an elderly senior with osteoporosis and can follow your exercises. God bless you for your good work!
First time watcher! Yes I have serious osteoporosis, age 75. Easy to follow. Thank you so much
You are so welcome! Thanks for joining in! 🥰
Vancouver BC just started an realize I really need it! 88year old and I thought fit
I am 82 and have had osteoporosis for many years, but my last bone density test showed I am losing more bone mass. I really don't want to take the meds. I do calcium and vitamin D. Walk 30 minutes every day and exercise online in the afternoon. Appreciate seeing exercises that are safe for me to do. Thank you.
I just discovered your videos this week. I’m so grateful I did! I have significant osteoporosis and appreciate having you to guide me through exercises that are safe and will give me more confidence, strengthen my muscles, improve my balance, and make my bones stronger! You give me hope! Thank you, Meg! I would greatly appreciate more osteoporosis videos!
Thanks Maureen! Wishing you all the best! More videos to come!
I like this exercise easy to follow thank you Meg
2 - I have Osteopenia and am 62 years young. Trying everything I can to increase my bone strength. Nice video!
Just found your channel and watched for the first time. I have osteoporosis and I’m 65. I really enjoyed this video because it was only five exercises, so not overwhelming. I can do a longer video when I have more time but this is a good one when I’m short on time but still want to get in a workout
I have mild osteoporosis and with these exercises things will get much better. There is already improvement since I started these exercises. My doctor ordered a dexa scan, in my hip there is no sign of bone lost . I still have to work on my lumbar. Thanks to you.❤
Great workout! I have mild osteoporosis, and these exercises are perfect and safe for those of us with this condition to do...thank you!
I recently found out I've got osteoporosis at the age of 61. My choices for treatment are injections for a year or for 2, plus exercise. I feel like there's a realistic program for me to follow with your series of Osteoporosis exercises. Thanks you! Today was my first time.
I am 61 and just diagnosed with osteoporosis (just learned it runs in the family) and other cervical and pelvic problems THANK you for these simple, well-guided, well-paced and WELL-explained at-home exercises! I look forward to MORE !!!!
