Hi, I am a senior woman and am looking for an exercise video that I can safely do. I have had both knees and hips replaced abut I want to stay as fit and active as possible. What I am looking for is the actual name of the video. I hope someone has some advice for me. Thanks.😊

I like Lauren on YouTube. She is known as Senior Shape Fitness. She has so many playlists with different kinds of exercises. Walking, stretching, chair yoga, and pilates as well as the standing versions. Hope this helps.

I have been using Brick House Bones videos on you tube with Dr. Lisa Moore, DPT: osteoporosis programs.
I also enjoy chair yoga and daily walks. Best wishes and good health.

Hi @kars
You must have been given a lists of dos and don'ts for movements following your surgeries. It's important to adhere to them.
Both Carol Michaels and Margaret Martin are physical therapists that specialize in exercises for osteoporosis.
There are a number of their exercise videos posted on YouTube and you can buy Carol Michaels DVDs if you prefer.
Dr Loren Fishman also has a Yoga Routine which builds bone denisty, "12 Poses vs Osteoporosis" on YouTube which @pcb mentioned.
If you can walk regularly it's beneficial.
If you can manage a rebounder, Earth and Owl rebounding has many adaptive videos for seniors on You Tube.
Some rebounders come with handles for holding.
Happy Exercising!

Thank you so much for replying. I have asked this question on several different sites with no success. I am very active even with all of thmy joint replacements and 😂 I hope to stay that way. I know exercise can help and I am pretty good about sticking with it. I like to exercise with tube on my iPad.

I have been doing Wellen osteo guided exercise program. It's a 12 week program - 3 days/week, 30 minutes per day. Focuses on balance and strength (core/leg/back). It starts you where you are and recognizes what equipment you have available. You also have the option of making any exercise easier or harder, which is great. It was a free perk under my Medicare medigap plan with UnitedHealthcare, otherwise only $5/month. I supplement with hiking and some cardio.

This showed up in my email from the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation. Might be a great free resource.
