Thank you @johnbishop! Will lookup the links provided. I was doing seated twist and couple of other twisting exercises and read somewhere that no bending or twisting exercises for osteoporosis.

After exercising for many years, I think it's best to find exercises targeted to those with osteoporosis. Forward flexion of the spine, the "C" curve that is favored in Pilates can cause compression fractures of the spine. Many yoga moves, like pigeon, are also dangerous. Carol Michaels and Sara Meeks have good programs. You can Google them or find them on YouTube.
I gave away my 10 lb. weighted vested as that too can cause compression fractures of the spine. All the Best, Teri

I've been told: no twisting *if your vertebrae are affected* by osteoporosis. Am I wrong?
