Weight lifting - bone scans improved in one year!

(For those investigating the vibration plate and more…)
I was thinking how my sister uses a small trampoline to bounce each day, thereby helping her lymphatic system drain more effectively. I found this article that considers jumping, in general, as another alternative to improve bone health:

(Obviously, I’d obtain guidance from PT’s or PCP’s and proceed cautiously).
At 66, I also started jumping rope. Used to be a “pro” at recess doing all the tricks when younger. Now it’s hilarious just trying not to trip up with every revolution.
🤔Interestingly enough, I have this same problem with putting under undergarments on - TMI - So fun getting old 😂)

@pmhpesp5 You are right that jumping is one of the exercise methods used to build bone density - but you shouldn't take risks when doing it! Most often people start with low heel drops and progress from there.
A versatile routine is most helpful - strength training with free weights, impact training (i.e. your jumps!), exercises for balance, posture, body awareness. I did the Kaari Prehab program for my osteopenia, it's a remote group program based on LIFTMOR study, and instructed by coaches with training in osteoporosis.

Good to know I'm not the only one having to hold on to a chair to get my undergarments up, and on safely! That made me chuckle, although really not funny. The best to you and all.
