Exercise Regime
I am at a loss as to what is considered safe exercises for osteoporosis, especially after having had a fracture. I have finished the 12 course treatment of Evenity and now taking Fosamax to retain gains. Even with improved dexa scores, osteoporosis is still prevalent. I know walking is safe but are there other exercises that can be done that are safe from falls and fractures? I wanted to try chair yoga but am afraid that certain bending, stretching exercises may not be good for the spine or hips.
What exercises do you do?
