Hi, @kars, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I edited the title of your discussion to "Exercises for Long-term Health After Knee & Hip Replacements" to be a bit more specific for other members to join the conversation.

You may also noticed I moved your discussion to the Joint Replacements - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/joint-replacements/ group as well. I'd like to invite @naturegirl5, @johnbishop, @dixiedog, and @jojo58 to this discussion to share some of their experiences with joint replacement and the recovery process.

@kars, many of the exercises discussed in previous joint replacement conversations are centered around post-op recovery. If you are comfortable sharing, how far out are you from your replacements? Are you looking to get your joints more functional, or for exercises that are joint appropriate but for overall health, not rehab? I also noticed you had posted your conversation in the Osteoporosis group, were your joint issues a result of osteoporosis?

Thank you for your info. I appreciate it. 🙂

My last surgery was a knee replacement done in February of this year. I have had both knees and hips replaced. I am very active. I still do everything I ever did, just a little slower. I don’t need to lose weight, just keep limbered up, so that I can stay active. Yes, the joint issues were osteoporosis related. I have always liked working out with a video and am looking for one that would be appropriate for me. Thanks
