The Workouts
This edition of Stronger Bones, Stronger Body includes three video workout sessions (between 34 and 35 minutes in duration) plus an extended bonus day.
You can do all of the workouts the comfort and privacy of your home, 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 Active as someone who has exercised once or twice weekly over the past six months. Their exercise program has included using light weights and a burst resistant physio ball.
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.
