How do you halt the progress of osteoporosis?

A friend is buying the Liverpool after I sent her your post and she did some research. Her grandmother and mother had what seems to me like very early onset osteoporosis and she's finally paying attention to her own likely familial risk.
I plan on getting one soon and will at least visit a local OsteoStrong facility to see if it appeals. My face weight-bearing exercise, because I'm not slender enough to be considered too little weight (yet) is walking on the treadmill at various levels of incline or decline (right word?). I have a bad lower back and walking on a true horizontal bothers it more...

callaloo-I believe you meant to say Lifepro and not Liverpool...correct? I would urge you to start out at the lowest phase..P-1..and see how you feel after a couple of weeks at that level. With any spine issues, you have to be careful in how you exercise to not cause further pain and damage. I have an never healing T-8 compression fracture..so I have to watch what I do...so that I don't further exacerbate that part of my spine whilst also trying to help my weak bones out. It's not an easy balance after all...none of us seem to have just one problem. I added the resistance cables to my machine and did a few exercises..but now have back pain...so that's not good for me..but I will continue the phase 1 walking program, without the cables as this does seem to feel quite good for me. Good luck all!
