Onero

As I wrote in a previous post (and updated below):

I've been doing Onero online for a year and a half. I'm now on level 6 out of 8.

You will never lift heavy weights in this program...that's Belinda Beck's other (in person) Onero program. It seems to me that Onero online is primarily for flexibility, balance and joint mobility, with some limited impact.

You follow along with a video. There is also an instruction sheet. Exercises in the first 4 levels only take about 15 minutes to complete (you repeat a ~5min video three times). I do them 6 times a week. Starting at level 5, it says to repeat each ~5 min video five times. At level 6, it goes back to repeating the ~5min video three times.

I consider it a small, but useful, contribution to all the other things I'm doing to try to reverse osteoporosis.

All that being said, if I had the option to go to the in-person Onero program at a location near me, I would JUMP at the possibility (pun intended). I even suggested to my OB/GYN that opening such a program would be a "cash cow". It seems like there is demand, but far too few location options in the U.S.

There's one in North Carolina, too. https://www.bigivypt.com/onero-award-winning-osteoporosis-program/

Actually, it looks like there are over 30 in the US.

so funny to see another Onero post - I just responded to someone last week that I was surprised there wasn't more talk about it. (only been back here a couple of weeks, i had lost my password a while ago and somehow couldn't recover it)

I have been doing a lot of research on Onero because I so want to avoid the drugs .

At first I thought there were only 2 locations in the US for the WEIGHT program - as someone said, the online is not the weights, the weights are so heavy you have to be monitored by professional. But from one video I learned there was a location in New Jersey, and possibly one about to open - and it may have been since that video as done, in Long Branch, an ideal spot in the summer anyway. The two I saw were Danville Ca and Manhasset. (The latter an easy commute from NYC of course) I live in PA and the closest for me is in Baltimore.

I emailed my prior PT - she was helping me w weights but not that heavy - and suggested they get accredited in Onero but so far no response.

We should all be contacting as any of our PTs as we can so this thing is all over. When you watch the videos it really seems to work.

Here are some links I found.

anyone participating should share experience here

i have not started yet -- in the midst of other chaos which is cutting back my workouts and probably causing cortisol to spike those dreadful osteoclasts to boot - but plan to a s a p, probably driving an hour each way to the balt location

the online course is cheap enough that it might be worth it anyway, just for balance

if the links i posted don't work go to you tube and search onero and for new jersey add that PT Margie Bissenger - she is about to do the program herself so that should be interesting

I am getting a little nervous about fracturing so may do one Reclast to tide me over - tho reading the comments not sure its such a good idea, although the 3 people i know who took it seemed to have no problem - anyway thinking about doing Reclast and starting the program and by the time I would need another Reclast my bones could be better naturally

Thank you for the information. One of my biggest questions is where the people in the study not on any drugs for osteoporosis? I am trying to research that.
Thanks
