Thank you Dr Lisa for sharing all your knowledge and expertise! I was floored when I got my osteoporosis diagnosis this Spring at 65 years old. After I calmed down and started researching how to fight back, I found your facebook page and then your RU-vid channel. I have been doing the workouts for about 3 months now. I am definitely feeling stronger and more optimistic. I've never been a big fan of working out, but I really look forward to the Brick House Bones routines! Thanks so much!
I have a question Dr,Lisa how many time we should do those exercises in a week? I just started watching you week 1 and now 2 and I ginna continue. Thank for sharing 😊
These series of weekly videos are designed to give you a variety of exercises to experience. You can do these 2-4 x per week depending on your fitness level. Generally balance exercises can be done daily. Posture exercises can be done daily. And strength exercises 2-4 x week. I have many other videos that are beginner friendly too that focus on different things like hips, spine, and dynamic balance. Thanks for watching. There are some great things coming!
@@DrLisaMooreDPT To piggy back, do we add on? For example, we do week one...move to week two...do we redo week one and THEN week two and keep adding on or is that a personal judgment call? Hope that makes sense. I know what I mean. haha.
@@BeaTrice10 Yes, adding weeks together is a personal choice based on your level of fitness. Perfectly acceptable. I do realize this is a common question. I will be building a version 2 of Brick House Bones that has easy to follow complete workouts in sequence.
Hello Dr. Lisa! Could you please explain why wait 2:30 minutes between sets? Is it okay to walk or do some cardio moves in between? Thank you so much. Peg
When working at higher intensities strength can be maximized by rest intervals between 2-3 minutes in duration. This allows the muscles to recover enough to produce a comparable amount of force for the next set. Lower intensity lifting can have shorter duration rest intervals. Walking is great to do during the rest period. Great question! Thanks for chiming in!
I’m so appreciative of your videos to help me with osteopenia & osteoporosis diagnoses. My knees are now virtually without cartilage (I’m 88). Should I do the floor exercises or modify them to remain standing?
You can absolutely modify any exercise to feel safe and confident. As you get stronger, getting on and off the floor may get easier too! Bravo to you for doing these exercises!
These exercises are great and easy to follow, hoping to improve my bone density as I have osteoporosis, 74 years old. Thanks so much for sharing, Cornelia
Not enough evidence to say that is a better choice than strength, power and impact exercises. It may have some benefit for balance. Any exercise you do is better than no exercise.
You can do this routine two or three times a week. You could also just choose to do the balance exercise every day and the posture exercise every day. And then only two days a week for the strength exercise. a lot depends on your level of fitness and prior exercise experience
Hi, these are evidence-based exercises that help improve bone density and prevent falls and fractures. Modifications are provided. For specific medical advice consider a consultation with a BoneFit trained professional or your physician for clearance to begin an exercise program. Thank you for your question.
Unfortunately, MDs have no clue re exercises. They only want to prescribe meds... with a lot of side effects. I am very active, working out daily. I'm glad to see your channel! Thank you.
@@DrLisaMooreDPTthankyou for these sessions I love them. I am 73 In 18 months 3 fractures wrists and L4 vertebrate. I have just watched 5 sessions. How would you suggest I use the programme? I am seeing them 4 weeks after .Today was the first day of seeing you Jan 17. I am unsure how much I should each day.
@@gilljackson9971 It is different for every person in their own unique situation. Since you have had fractures, I strongly advice you to seek guidance from a PT to get started on an exercise program. You can start with balance exercises and posture exercises from these videos to help you, add strength exercises when you feel safe doing so. Always listen to your body and stop any exercise that does not feel right.
