I am 50, from Bharath= India. Thank you for your videos. I have been diagnosed 90% osteoporosis & was petrified & had stopped all activities including yoga since 2 years!! Now watching your video, i will restart walking. My back (spine) is quite painful around T4-T5... please continue your great videos. They're very supportive to people like me🙏🏽
I walk every single day of the week without fail. If I can't get outside, I get on my treadmill. I also do walk videos and also use my stretch band and using my weights.
Your videos are so helpful!! They are like listening to a very good book that you cannot pull away from. Do you have a video about what to do and not do with an active fracture?
Great info! Walking is my main form of physical activity. I usually walk 4 to 5 hours a week. Recently, I added two days of weight training. I need to add more yoga into the mix since I haven’t been doing it as often as I used to. Unfortunately, I had a flare up of pain around my hip/sacroiliac joint. It has sidelined me for about a month. The worst of the pain has diminished somewhat, but for the time being I’ve had to curtail my exercise routine drastically, which is frustrating.
Great info as always! TQ! I'm intrigued by the notion of incorporating a weighted vest. I'm unclear on whether I would be a good candidate. I will need to ask my doctor. Good stuff this!! :D
I have walked almost daily for years. I usually walk briskly, but I'll have to see if my speed is the 3-4 mph. ( I don't know how my watch configures my speed. Any help with that???). It is my favorite form of exercise. I look forward to getting outside each day (except in the heat of the summer). My recent Dexa showed osteoporosis in my spine (I've been considering a weighted vest so thanks for the tips in using one), but osteopenia in my hips. I'll consider that a thumbs up for the benefit of walking for osteoporosis. For me, there are s0 o many other benefits, like lifting my mood. Thank you Sarah for all the wisdom you share. I'm so glad I discovered your channel. Next obstacle is finding an osteoporosis yoga teacher in my small town.
3-4 mph is a 15-20 minute mile, does that help? I've taken the Yoga for Strong Bones series from Yogaville (online). I can't recommend it enough. It is based on Dr. Fishman's research. When they teach each pose, they offer three ways to do it - sitting, standing with a chair/wall support, and unsupported.
I have done yoga for many years. I hike and walk but need to do more. I started weightlifting about 4 months ago after getting a diagnosis of osteoporosis in the femoral neck of my hips. I also do box jumps as I read that this helps build bone in the femoral neck.
I am a yoga teacher. I am interested in continuing my yoga training to include yoga specific to osteoporosis. Do you have a recommendation for an on-line training or even an in person training? I have Dr. Fishman's book and I have watched the video "Dr. Fishman's 12 yoga poses for bone health & osteoporosis of the spine". I suppose I am wondering if there is specific certification I can earn that will be recognized by health professionals?
@@Clovelaurel I watched a video by a PT, Margaret Martin and purchased the one she recommends. Haven't used it yet, but it holds weight from 1-10 pounds. Margaret Martin is another great resource.

Good information Sarah. Thanks for these videos - going to look into yoga for spine strength.
Thanks Sarah. I do brisk walking at least 5 days a week plus Tai chi & Tai Chi with yoga. Sure hope I am doing enough!

@@cindyn628 Yes thank you! I'll look into the online class.

where to buy weighted vest pls? thk for the info ❤
There are many options for weighted vests on Amazon.
Does walking with a walker help if you try to walk briskly? And working with weights too??

A weighted vest cannot be worn if a patient has scoliosis and osteoporosis. Please let people know this before they do this and get a fracture
It is safe as long as you maintain good posture and don’t use a vest that’s too heavy.

Thanks for your information. It’s simple, easy to understand & useful for helping with osteoporosis.❤
