In Season II of Weight Bearing Aerobic Workouts, we go beyond the basics and take on more complex and challenging movement patterns. Not only do we challenge our balance, we really build our aerobic capacity!
All of the episodes include moves that are important for the loading the bones and increasing bone density. I really look forward to seeing you at the workouts.
Episode 1: Beginner Level Workout
The beginner episode is at an 80 beat per minute pace.
Episode 2: Active Level Workout
The second workout repeats the same steps and movements that you learn in the first workout, however, the pace picks up to 94 steps per minute.
Episode 3: Athletic Level Workout
During the third workout, we perform the same moves at 94 steps per minute. However, the difference is that we graduate from stepping to plyometrics — which means we add bone building jumps and hops.
This programme is designed for adults who want structured, educational exercise guidance for bone health, and who can exercise at home without hands-on supervision.
Make sure you receive the clearance from your physician or physical therapist before starting this or any other exercise program.
This programme cannot see you, progress you week by week, or correct your form in real time. If you need that level of attention, please work with a clinician in person.
This is a pre-recorded educational exercise programme. It is not a physiotherapy, medical, or personal-training service. Buying it does not make Margaret Martin or MelioGuide your clinician, and we do not assess whether these exercises are right for your body.
Exercise involves a risk of injury, including fracture. If you have osteoporosis, osteopenia, a recent fracture, spine, hip or pelvic pain, or you have been told you are at high fracture risk, get clearance from your own physician or physiotherapist before you start.
Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, chest pain, or unusual shortness of breath.
