Squats with kettlebells is almost always part of my twice weekly gym sessions. Now doing 24ks - 93 lbs. Started off 6 months ago with 8ks. All under careful supervision of a licensed physiotherapist who does a variant of the ONERO program. Wouldn't dream of doing it with a PT. Anyone can set up shop as a PT. Am so happy with my latest DEXA results am thinking of getting one each six months. Am 76 and on anastrozole.

@freckle1 If by "PT" you mean Physical Therapist then I don't know what you are thinking? The two words have almost the same meaning. In the US trained licensed PT's give non-drug therapy like movement and exercise guidance and physical manipulation. In some other countries like Australia a very similar trained licensed practitioner is called a physiotherapist.
Perhaps "PT" means something else to you?
