Does anyone know what kind of exercise i can do for osteoporosis? |
i am 35 and have the bones of a 80 year old,help anyone? Yes, low impact exercises,swimming is excellent.Yoga is good for keeping you flexible. I work out with 10-20 lb weights. They increase bone density and strengthen muscle helping to protect joints.Watch your weight.Extra weight puts stress on joints. I think a good mattress helps. I sleep on a there pedic(memory foam) mattress. A good nights sleep and you don't wake up all stiff and sore. First of all, osteoporosis is caused by a lack of osteoblasts within your body. The only way to deal with it is by eating lots of calcium (such as milk, and leafy green vegetables), and doing strength-building excercises. Talk to your doctor or a physical therepist for a specific excercise regiment. Biology Class : ) Chances are if you have been diagnosed by an MD you may be on medication for you osteoporosis which weakens your bones and increases you risk for fractures. Try walking which is a great weightbearing exercise for your lower body and light weight training with a professional for your upperbody. You should consult with your MD that diagnosed you before starting any exercise program. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/osteopo... http://womenshealth.aetna.com/wh/ihtwh/r... An important factor for someone with severe osteoporosis is prevention of injury. You'll have to be very careful to avoid situations in which you could fall. For example, remove all throw rugs from your home, or if you feel some are necessary, be sure to tape them down very well so your foot doesn't get caught on an upturned edge. Hold onto railings when going up or down stairs. Use your seat belt. Try not to go out in the ice and snow without either a cane or someone to help you walk across the most treacherous areas. Watch where you're going; make sure your shoes fit well; be leery of wearing flip flops or clogs unless you're sure you can keep them on. Avoid sports that may injure you, like skiing, sledding, etc.. I hope you're getting treatment for your osteoporosis and see some good results soon.

Even though I have insurance, it is more convenient to get it from there. It is a once weekly pill. |
