@becsbuddy, I'm sorry that you can only manage a mile walk. Resistance training is good. I think I mentioned before to check out Carol Michaels on Youtube for some appropriate workouts. I did Pilates for 25 years+. Pain from the PMR made it impossible to do mat work, but now on Prednisone, I'm free of most pain. When I started researching appropriate exercises for Osteoporosis I was shocked to learn that many Pilates exercises - involving forward flexion of the spine (C curve) are dangerous for osteoporosis as they can cause silent compression fractures. The same is true for yoga. The National Osteoporosis Foundation has information about safe Pilates and Yoga. Also, Dr. Weill has a good article on osteoporosis and Pilates if you want to Google it. Best, tsc

@tsc. I remember now! It just went out of my mind! I’ll check YouTube when I get home tomorrow. Thanks

Tai Chi is safe and very helpful.
