Struggling with making an osteoporosis treatment decision

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?

Thanks, @hopeful33250 I just saved the video to my Youtube library and will give it a try. I have trouble doing exercises that are not cardio! I feel like when I'm exercising I have to be burning calories and increasing my heart rate, which this type of exercise really does not do but I realize they do have other value.

I have been trying to push myself to do a posture one recently which is similar in that it does not burn many calories. I generally exercise about an hour a day and during that time I have to meet a calorie goal but I guess when I do this type of lower energy exercise I need to accept that I will have to exercise for longer. I really want to get back to my health club and when I do I plan to do Pilates reformer if I can. My lack of flex in my knees does present a problem often.
