Oh, no @becsbuddy How discouraging to discover that your osteoporosis has gotten worse. This is such an evil condition, there don't seem to be any really great ways to deal with it. I sure hope that taking Tymlos will help me but I dread what I will need to be on afterward.

Good info, @tsc I used to do Pilates reformer at my health club but due to Covid I still have not returned there. I was thinking about it but the Delta variant struck so I will put it off longer -- 10 fully vaccinated people in my state, NH, have died from Covid and being on immunosuppressants my antibodies are low. I believe all of those 10 were over 60 years old.

I do a lot of exercise to Youtube videos so I will check out Carol Michaels. The person I use most, Jenny McClendon (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHufaoaq1VqjHvnv8zvg9pQ), is/was a physical therapist also so she is pretty knowledgeable about what is not good for osteoporosis but I think she just avoids those exercises knowing that since she caters to seniors many people probably do have osteoporosis.

Carol Michaels is also a Physical Therapist. I'll check out Jenny McClendon. Thanks!

Hi All: I'd like to jump into this conversation about Pilates and osteoporosis. I've found a Youtube video titled Standing Pilates for Seniors which is quite good. Here is the link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3PYS_jsA1c&t=1038s

You might want to check it out and see if it might work for you until it feels safe to go back to indoor classes again. I find it quite helpful.

Will youy let me know what you think?
