Anyone had experience with OsteoStrong, who is not a franchisee?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 21 hours ago | Replies (419)Comment receiving replies
I am already doing a 1 hour balance class every week, 1 1 hour strength and conditioning class with weights, etc each week and 1 40 minute physical therapy resistance training once a week. I have been on the last 2 mentioned for about 3 years and I just started the balance class a few months ago. So I wasn't going to replace any of these but if OsteoStrong is really high intensity resistance, I wouldn't want to do that. My physical therapist won't let me run on a treadmill!

@suemer It sounds like you are doing quite a lot already. I am trying to do a lot also. I was supposed to resume PT for my osteoporosis on Monday but due to current circumstances the PT place has temporarily closed.
@JustinMcClanahan I had been told that the treadmill, while not the best for osteoporosis, is helpful. My PT said it would be better for me than walking on the track at my health club, you tend to have more impact on the treadmill even when you are just walking as I am. Also, the elliptical is not as good but then recently I saw that it can be good because of the resistance it provides! It gets very confusing, that's for sure. I prefer the elliptical, it's the only way I can get some good cardio in, but I generally stick with the treadmill before I move on to the weight resistance equipment.

@suemer, I am not familiar with the exact program of OsteoStrong, so I cannot say how high-intensity they are. The workouts may very well be tailored to each participant. It sounds as though you are quite active already, but maybe looking to supplement your current routine. Has your current regimen of activity helped? To be fair, lots of research out there that points to treadmills not being the best option for many people.
