Hi @khof,
Dr. Loren Fishman has a short yoga workout, posted on YouTube, "12 Poses vs Osteoporosis" and an ongoing study. The selected yoga poses increase bone density. It takes about 15 minutes, not long enough for me to get bored.
My level of physical activity has really taken a step back since the onset of PMR/GCA. The fact that I need a shoulder replacement doesn't help.
I manage a 25 minute walk with my husband most days, use a rebounder, and do Dr. Fishman's yoga. That's about it.
I'm with you. I think it's important to keep moving!
