@staceywren I love it too! I started Onero in December and am the second oldest, I am 81 and adding weight slowly and have progressed to 36 pounds deadlift. Overheads are hard for me, only 15 pounds. My PT also offers REMS testing so have added that info to my data collection. Like you, I will wait and see where I am in 3-6 months. Regardless, I can see that my posture has improved and I feel better than before starting the exercises.
@staceywren I just started an Onero program in D.C. - am about 4 sessions in. It feels like it's going very slow. Please do let me know about your progress and I'll follow you on Instagram. I need encouragement!
@staceywren I applaud your workout routine. I think strength training is the key to good bones. Dont put too much on the dexa scan numbers...Look into getting a No radiation REMS scan. Cost about 250 dollars
