High impact foot hop study 50 hops a day for osteoporosis

Great information all, when I asked about "exercise" doctor said "weight bearing/resistances" without saying exactly what that should be; I went to a PT because of fear of moving wrong and snapping in half! However, I have been doing aerobics with weights most of my life; hate walking but have picked it up and PT gave me some good exercises and strongly suggested a gym with weight machine, in addition to everything else I am doing. So am looking into the Y and a personal trainer. Haven't found pt or trainer here who is specific for osteoporosis yet. I thought I exercised a good amount through the decades; non desk job, kids, house, sick parents, never really sat much but as my primary care pointed out with osteo we need to exercise, then exercise again, and one more time after that!

So sorry to hear about the shin splints and plantar fasciitis. I’ve been doing them barefoot on tile, so will keep this all in mind. I hope you are healing well.

@zooie
I’m surprised you got plantar fasciitis from heal drops.
That’s an exercise to repair it. Flexing foot back to get the bend to the fascia.

There’s a vibration plate that goes Up and down (not sideways) but I don’t know the brand name.

@beanieone practicing balance is so important. This is a great way to do! And if you fall out of it, start again!

Jumping 10 times every day impacts the bones according to an orthopedic surgeon I saw. It doesn’t have to be weighed and it doesn’t need to be high or squatted. If you have balance issues hold on to something until you feel secure.
For wrists, if you can do kneeling push up (full if you can). This provides the impact of the wrist and forearm bones. It also strengthens the fingers so you can lay them flat.
