I agree. I was told I had mild OP (only scanned on the hip area), a couple of years ago.. at 58. I decided I would reverse it without drugs. I told my Dr I was going to begin lifting weights after my physical therapy for my degenerated disk, and for my knees, and I did. I started slowly after some research on how to lift for over 50 with an OP diagnosis. I am almost 61. I do full-body workouts twice a week. My back is better, knees are better. Doing well, moving well. I will request another Dexa scan for the end of the year to note progress.. I am not giving in to any diagnosis. Keeping my muscles and bones intact, they have much work still to accomplish, Lord, willing!

I like your attitude!! You're too young to give in. And you're very fortunate that you're able to do these workouts. Some people, like my husband with fragile back fractures, can't do them for now. He can't bend and he can't lift anything over 5 pounds. Everyone is on their own journeys with the same end goal - to better health and wellbeing.
