@debraran I am doing the same in Mpls. I am 63, not on Medicare and have to pay out of pocket. I think I can afford about 6 months, taking money out of retirement for this, but then what, I don’t know? I could lift some on my own, but not like this. I’m hoping that continuing the jumping on my own will continue to stimulate bone growth. Also wondering if I do make enough progress, if maybe a vibration plate could maintain it?

Yes with medicare I get free memberships to some gyms and although not using now and trainer would be extra of course, I will to fill in what I can't do at home. I need assistance with pullups and deadlifts and the one where you squat with bar on your back. I can do core and machines on my own. Although Liftmor is basically 4 exercises my therapist to fill time and round me out, emphasizes doing core and legs and tells me to keep doing chest and bicep/triceps at home, but don't overdo back. I do up to 30lbs with rows at home since that's the heaviest dumbell I own but I know I can go to gym. Working right now, nothing is close but I will utilize it later.
I do jumping but not from steps, just like broadjumps and heel drops. How do you do them?
Also do you have osteoporosis or osteopenia?
