LiftMOR protocol

@debraran I have osteoporosis, -3.3 in spine and -3.0 in hips. In addition to going to a PT for the Liftmor exercises, I go to Orange Theory 2 times a week, so I get other weightlifting exercises there. For jumping I do the pull-up and drop from Liftmor 2 times a week and in addition I am using an app called OSTEO-GAINS, which I would highly recommend depending upon one’s medical conditions and if it’s safe for an individual person. They only use from floor jumps. It’s recommended by Dr. Stacy Sims. It’s not free, but it’s $24 for an entire year.

Hello Debra,
I've never heard of Osteo Gains app so thank you for that. My DEXA #s are about the same as yours and I'm concerned to do jumping. How did you come to conclusion that you could, if I may ask? I'm 71 yo. Thank you.

@awesomemomx2 I don’t know who this is but I would be careful about anyone denigrating the program. Find an Onero certified physical therapist and follow their instruction. They do an “onboarding” session first to be sure the program is a good fit for you and always focus on proper form so you don’t injure yourself. I started 7 months ago (I am 81) and can now deadlift 57 pounds! Also, my posture has improved, my upper arms have lost that old age wrinkly skin and my scoliosis is less defined as my back muscles have strengthened. As to the osteo, I will have another REMS scan in a few months. I can’t say enough good things about the program—I just wish I had started sooner! Pic is from a week or so ago.
