I often have people who attend my Walks, Pilates Yoga and fitness sessions who have Osteoporosis, having first consulted with their health care professional before starting any new exercise program.

We always advise everyone to start slowly, gradually increasing the intensity and duration of their workouts to avoid overexertion and injury.

Be mindful that the type of exercise you are participating in is appropriate and support bone health.

Listen to your body; if you experience acute pain or discomfort, you should stop.

Make sure your instructor/ coach is there to guide you correctly through each session so you achieve proper form in a safe and controlled environment.

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before, during and after your exercise.

We offer a combination of exercises that support bone growth, muscle strength, flow, balance, coordination, flexibility, range of movement. These exercises add impact to your daily living, stimulating bone growth.

We offer Pilates, Yoga, Power of Poles 1 & 2 (how to walk with Nordic walking Poles) for more information go to our diary of walks and activities. If you need more information or advise please contact me. Details can be found on my webpage or by following this link https://walx.co.uk/groups/cathy-fort/

By incorporating a combination of these exercises and following safety guidelines, individuals with Osteoporosis can improve their bone health, reduce the risk of falls and enhance their overall well-being.
