Younger than usual with severe osteoporosis

@healthmatters,

For what it's worth, I read an article that stated - and I forget the exact verbiage - that standing on one leg for one minute three times per day will help to strengthen the femur/hip. Apparently, every little bit helps. Anyone?

Cheers!

I know that standing on one leg is recommended for balance. It probably strengthens the muscles around the femur/hip too. I work remotely, and do yoga tree poses while I'm reading email at my standing desk. As you said, "...every little bit helps."
