Would you like to learn more about managing your Osteoporosis or Osteopenia? Here's my entire playlist ua-cam.com/video/BaJ7mGf2eys/v-deo.html. Please leave any comments or questions down below, thanks for watching!
Thanks Gabrielle! Bellingham is beautiful this time of year. Happy to hear the videos are helpful. If there is a particular topic you would like to learn more about, let me know. Take care
I’m only 38 and becaus if the meds I was on which I am stopping soon it was from eoe autoimmune that I need to take Pantoprazole and now switching to dupixent, I have osteopenia only in my hips. I run, and weight lift for decades. Otherwise strong and I’m trying hard to reverse it and build back my bone
Thanks. 50 plus trail ultra runner here and only just been diagnosed saw specialist and was advised that i could run if I was also regularly doing core and upper body resistance training. Keen to incorporate some of your exercises hoping to toe the line at another ultra in the future
Try foil boarding. All the aerobic, balance building, and leg development without any impacts. Unfortunately the cost of entry is high in terms of difficulty and equipment.
Thank you, very useful information. My running days are over, but I've started to implement daily "house walking" right after meals, 3X per day. My home is a large rambler where I can safely walk end to end for 10 minutes and log around 1300 steps each time. I carry light weights - no fancy moves, just holding them for some arm muscle fatigue and increased weight on my lower back/hips where I have osteopenia developing. I currently carry 3# weights in each hand with a couple laps of 5# each hand during each session, careful of shoulder and elbow injuries. I'm running this by my doc who used to work as a personal trainer. I'm 72. I can tell my core is getting stronger and my arms are as well. Current BMI of 25. Thoughts?
@@FrontRowwithEd Thank you! Oh my gosh, this is it and covers everything I was thinking about really well. All summer long I was carrying gallon buckets of water and watering cans for my garden and flowers. I'm going to set my goal for carrying 8# weights in each hand. I'm trying to get my older friends to consider "house walking" and will share that video. I live down by Olympia - if I lived farther north I'd come see you, lol.
@@FrontRowwithEd That's what I'm thinking. I had a past shoulder injury and elbow tendonitis that initially complained if I carry heavy weight down at my side for very long, but holding them bent-arm close to my body (hugging) seems to help. And to switch on and off as I do my "laps". I've resigned from the "no pain no gain" club, lol. I can switch back to lighter weights to finish my laps if my joints get grouchy. I really appreciate your input.
What about walking I am 80 years old, and toying with the idea of moving to a lovely town in Mexico where you walk to everything. Can my body take it at this point I do have some arthritis.
Walking is great exercise, but it will not provide enough "stress" on the bones to build additional bone mass density. You do need to resistance train with light weights or bands, here is a video to get you started ua-cam.com/video/BaJ7mGf2eys/v-deo.htmlsi=q6Gtc7Kz2KbOxrmD. Do you track your steps, and if not, I highly recommend it. We don't manage what we don't measure. I got my mom to walk more after I got her a step counter ua-cam.com/video/9hYw6KW38wU/v-deo.htmlsi=YM7OWJcsgaZGp76q. Enjoy Mexico!!
How would you know if you're at the point where you shouldn't run or do high impact? I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis (-3.0 in one of my lumbar vertebra) I do weights and cross-fit and love to run. I have a dr apt coming up and want to be able to ask appropriate questions. If I'm in good general health, muscularly strong, and no pain - do you think running could be dangerous? I feel like if I give up running I'm doomed :(
@@FrontRowwithEd I honestly don't know. I'm really active and if i had a small compression fracture, I may have thought it was muscle strain. (??) I had an MRI a while back that I may still have access to. Hoping to be able to check that out. I guess a previous fracture would mean being way more careful.
I'm not sure running down hill is such a good idea for older people with osteoporosis. Above all you are looking to avoid a fall of any kind while running because one bad fall could permanently ruin your life. Plus, your balance may be somewhat degraded at an older age. I'm considering taking up running for my osteoporosis but there's no way I'm going to be running downhill.
@@FrontRowwithEd Perhaps a moderate downgrade might be OK. But I would still caution running down a steeper slope for a senior who already has osteopenia or osteoporosis.
If you have spondylosis, I would first recommend a core stabilization program, with the Bird dog exercise. Here's a link ua-cam.com/video/18BEaZWG5HY/v-deo.htmlsi=VLM6FpYzENL9Q0f8

Thanks for addressing running...just the info I was looking for
Very welcome Linda!
So grateful to you for your channel! And what a beautiful area you live in. Love all the nature. 🙂🙂🙂

Thank you for this video
You are very welcome!
I did not see the link for the exercise for osteoporosis. Great videos.
Sorry about that, here you go! ua-cam.com/video/BaJ7mGf2eys/v-deo.html. Enjoy!

Hello Lanette, I think that's great, keep it up! Here is a video that may help you as well ua-cam.com/video/1R7sU2A7yRI/v-deo.htmlsi=qJcn6L2rvfD37JWc

Excellent Lanette, keep it up! You may need to get some heavier weights as you get stronger :) @@lanettescapillato714

Thank you! I will add this to my stuff too!
Very good advice on regular running mixed with HIIT-running. Can I also incorporate ankle weight for regular running to build stronger bones?
No, I wouldn't recommend ankle weights. Instead, think about a weighted vest.
@@FrontRowwithEd Thank you!

Walking with a weighted vest that has slots for 1/2 lb weights, and/or on a treadmill that has an incremental incline?
Yes, that would be helpful. Start slowly with the added weights

Yes, it's difficult to tell exactly. Have you ever had a compression fracture or low impact fracture?

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't recommend running with your dexa score until you get cleared by your doctor. @@magpietexas9475

Is this good for spondylosis patients and osteoporosis

Probably depends how bad your osteoporosis is.
Correct 👍🏻
