Do you think that Dr Fishman's exercises have helped you significantly? And can you describe how? I do some of them but haven't been as as I would like to be. But the fact that you've been doing them now for 7 months suggest that you find them very helpful, which is encouraging me to start them again.

Hi @callalloo, It's good to hear from you!
I'm hoping Dr. Fishman's yoga will help, as nearly everyone in the study gained bone density, with no injuries. I'll get a Dexascan this summer. I've fallen a couple of times over this period, but not been injured. Consistency is important. He advises doing the yoga everyday or every other day. In seven months, I've missed four days of practice.
I ordered the Second Series DVD a couple of months ago. It's good to have different poses for a change and some have been added for the wrist.
I am concerned about the DEXA scan though because I was diagnosed with PMR and GCA, autoimmune disorders from hell, and prescribed Prednisone, initially at a high dosage, and tapering down for 16 months = not good for the bones.
I like the Yoga because it's quick, over before I know it, and it replaced the high intensity vibration exerciser I was using. I also walk everyday about half an hour so with the yoga, I'm getting 50 minutes most days.
Hopefully, it will help.
Thank you for your inquiry. What have you been up to?
