The Workouts
This edition of Stronger Bones, Stronger Body includes three video workout sessions (each just over 30 minutes in duration) you can do in the comfort and privacy of your home, and at your pace and as frequently as you like.
Each workout session is easy to follow, includes detailed explanations and demonstrations, and requires minimal setup and equipment.
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.
We define an Athletic as someone who regularly exercises three to four times weekly. Their exercise program includes using weights and they have used a burst resistant physio ball in the recent past. They regularly play sports such as golf, bowling, curling, hiking, or cycling.
If you do not fit this profile, I encourage you to consider our Beginner or Active level programs.
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.
This list includes all the equipment you need to complete the Stronger Bones, Stronger Body video. Use the following to help you choose the right size ball for you:
