STOP! Don't do this if you have osteoporosis

I have severe osteoporosis and was told no flexion of the spine (except a mild cat/cow in yoga is ok) and no weighted twisting.
Also, I learned the hard way that if you take a break from your bone strengthening exercises, please start over at the lowest weights when you resume! This is critical.

Your observation about a danger of flexion of the spine was useful. Thanks! I too have severe osteoporosis of spine. I wonder if spine extension is risky too? I use to do a lot of such exercises.
