This is exactly what I have been looking for Susan. Lots of UA-cam’s explaining what’s needed but nothing tangible for me to follow. Thank you so much for sharing. You’re a great doctor and a great teacher.
These are great, I can do these despite my total spine issues. I just adjust my weights for what works for me. I may not lift over 10 lbs but it still helps me with balance and core strengthening. Workouts, as mentioned in the video are meant to push yourself and listen to your body.
Love the video thank you. It's so important for our bones to lift weights. I try to work out 4 days a week, weights, etc... I'm also hearing Vitamin K1 and K2-4&7 are super important for our bones. I take a K2-4 dose of 500 mcg & K2-7 dose of 100 mcg. I'm hearing I should be taking K1 as well. Also, hearing we should be taking a dose of K1-1500 mcg, K2-4 -1000 mcg and K2-7 200 mcg. So confusing! Could you do a video on K1 and K2 and educate us. Thank You
Excellent episode! How can I modify the exercise where you kneel on one knee? I have to replace my right hip and knee. Hopefully I’m a year or two out. Also I’ve been advised to not raise a weight over my head bc of damage that can occur to shoulders. I had my left shoulder scoped 10 years ago. I do have tons of arthritis. I do Essentrics, planks and walking. Would love your comments.
Thank you Susan. I however have so many health problems like torn meniscus, carpel tunnel, tendon thickening, shoulder weakness and arthritis. I cannot do one of these exercises. I’m so concerned. What can I do? I worked out with a trainer for years but I think he caused some of my problems.
I can relate. I have a bone spur on my big toe and had carpal tunnel surgery so planks and push ups kill my wrists and my foot. I still do them but I feel it in my top of my foot the next day.

Doctor. Great workout.Not sure if you will see this. I have being watching your videos and my take away is that estrogen / estradiol is a good thing for women due to the receptors all over the body that need it. But a few days ago, I saw a video on UA-cam from fox News that seems to message that estrogen is a cause of cancer. The title was 'Having children at a younger age may help reduce breast cancer' .

I’m 67 and have been going to a chiropractic. He doesn’t want me to do any weights for my shoulders. I hear cartilage making noises around my clavicle. No pain there but occasionally I get pain in my back in between my shoulder blades causing pain rotating to my ear and jaw.
Actually, there’s a huge amount of data supporting lifting heavy weight -not too heavy to get injured but heavy enough that you can only do 5 to 10 reps. Please check out the liftmor study There is a massive amount of science supporting this . Course we don’t want to get injured and heavy is relative to what you can do but generally, we’re talking about heavy enough to be able to repeat 5 to 8 repetitions

That was sooooo helpful!💕 Thanks so much for sharing Dr Susan ❤ Looking forward for the next session
Excellent video geared to those of us "of a certain age" but will benefit any woman starting to strength train!! Thank you!

This would be good to discuss with your trainer. It’s hard to talk about your personal case without seeing you, but everything can always be modified.
Good challenge for me, thank you for the tips too.
Susan, you look fantastic 😊
Thank you so much
How heavy are the weights you are using?
If you watch the video, you will see we talk about the weights frequently

Try swimming or aqua fit? Body weight exercises would be better than nothing too. Being very careful and gentle of course.
What if you are 84 have bad knees,can I still do these?
Of course modify and start with no weight at all , best to have a trainer observe your form - but yes !

Always want to modify and work with someone to not get injured, or choose a lighter weight !
There’s always something you can do to modify no matter what type of injury you have maybe try a different trainer!!
when I lift heavier weights, I get very broad shoulders and I don’t look feminine. I don’t understand that.
Just my opinion here, but I think that’s an excellent problem that I wish I had. Broader shoulders give you that T shape that looks great in clothes!

I look like a linebacker. 😖
Yes, it’s very unusual to build a lot of muscle as a woman that is not a common problem
I would never encourage anyone starting out a heavy weight. I think that this is bad advice.
