Stronger Bones, Stronger Body Beginner I is designed for the beginner adult who wants a safe exercise workout that keeps them active and independent. All of the exercises are safe for someone with osteoporosis and there are no contraindicated exercises.
Each session is about 35 minutes in length and represents your workout for the day. I recommend that after you do your Day 1 exercise that you move on (the next day or several days after depending on your schedule and recovery time) to Day 2 and then to Day 3 and then start again at Day 1. Each session is designed to address different areas and and to get the most of the video, you should enjoy the variety of Day 1 through Day 3.
If you find specific exercises too challenging I recommend less demanding versions of the exercise for you to follow.
