@speedweeder- I began my journey with having heard about Margaret Martin . Not sure what info you’re looking to compare, but I can say some stuff. Margaret has a program in a book “Exercise for Better Bones” for 4 levels of people- Beginners -Active -Athletic-Elite. She has 2 other books as well if interested , “Strengthen your Core” with same levels of difficulty, and another for Yoga that’s safe for people with osteoporopenia / osteoporosis. She teaches the underlying principals in regards to using the books in the intro and to keep you safe. She has the website you sited with tons of practical info and tips with how to deal with kitchen tasks , gardening shoveling snow , etc. She has a presence on YouTube as well and programs to purchase for at home at relatively low prices . With all that said it’s very different from Onero. Margaret’s program was a great for me as place to start after healing from a fracture and not knowing much. Onero does , I’m told take people that have fractured after they’ve healed and it’s not fresh , but the whole idea is different. With both programs you progress overtime, however more weight resistances and impact are involved with Onero. I will say with Margaret’s program she says to NOT progress beyond the Active level if you’ve had a fracture, but as an athletic person my whole life after a while I felt like I was not being challenged enough at just the Active level. That’s NOT a recommendation for anyone else , you all have to decide what you want to do what you feel you’re capable of , where you can exercise ( in your home, going to a gym , or to an Onero clinic , of which currently there are just a few , only 3-4 that I’ve heard of. I do however like the idea of Onero where you go in 2x a week for an hour , rather than all the exercise we all try to do - like it can take a lot of time out of your life!! Understand again I’ve not been involved in Onero as yet , so this discussion is based off what I’ve heard from people presenting about the program. Currently I do a mix of things at home , at the gym , I love to walk , but have to say feel a bit more empowered after hearing things to increase my resistance. Good luck to you and all!!
