Hi @jamuda77, I was using an Eilison Bolt, whole body vibration plate exerciser for 9 months, two 15 minute bone building programs a day. After listening to Margaret Martin's podcast on the dangers of high intensity vibration exercisers I stopped using it. In the meantime, I started doing Dr. Loren Fishman's 12 Poses vs. Osteoporosis, which has been studied and improves bone density. You can Google to find it.
There was a lot of discussion on whole body vibration under Bone Health. You may find it if you scroll through the topics.

Thank you for your input and advice 😖
Glad you gave up the high intensity vibration..The low intensity Vibrations unit is recommended..Sara Meeks PT (osteoporosis expert for 30+ years) had had incredible results with it…I would love to try, but the $$! Sara has therapy exercises on YouTube are well documented, easy and so helpful. She is brilliant.
I do one of her exercises videos daily… Also,I started the Loren Fishman 12 Yoga poses daily too! Aren’t they impressive? So helpful and feels great.
I also add free weights at home every other day..and daily pushups, squats and toe raises..all with weights. And long walks every day..every other day with weighted vest of 10lbs.
After months of this I feel so darn good.. incredible energy. Who would think a diagnosis would change my life in many ways. Closest gym is almost an hour from me, but I’m considering it after New Year, because of the studies on weightlifting and bone health.
Another great bunch of exercises I added in are balance ones.. to help prevent trips snd falls. Very important to add these.
Let’s hope we keep getting stronger and take control!
