Their exercises remind me of some of those in the book 'Exercises for Osteoporosis' by Dianne Daniels. I started out with those exercises when I was very first diagnosed with osteoporosis, nearly two and a half years ago, and they were good, especially good for at home. I then moved on to a gym and Slow Burn weight lifting :Wow:<br><br>all the best,<br>Anne[/quote]<br><br>I have spent ages trying to find the slide show - please can you give me foolproof instructions on how to find it?<br>Thank you.Wed, 05 Jan 2011 16:11:36 GMTSarah Whttp://www.nos.org.uk/forum/Topic23-5-1.aspxHi All - thanks for the links and tips. I've just started reading 'Osteoporosis, the silent epidemic' by Marilyn Glenville and already find it very interesting reading.<br><br>Just came across a site (below) which I haven't finished reading yet but may have some useful information that some may be interested in: :)<br><br>[url=http://www.rd.com/osteoporosis/]http://www.rd.com/osteoporosis/[/url]<br><br>Mmmmm eat more plumbs :P<br><br>Have a great daySat, 09 Oct 2010 16:26:54 GMTOJhttp://www.nos.org.uk/forum/Topic23-5-1.aspxThank you for letting Forum know of this book. I am learning a lot about OP that is new. I have been keeping myself well informed for about 15 yrs. but this is very helpful.Wed, 06 Oct 2010 19:17:57 GMTFreda Rosshttp://www.nos.org.uk/forum/Topic23-5-1.aspxI see that one or two people on here are using the 'save our bones' book by Vivian Goldschmidt, which I was thinking of sending for. I wondered if the supplements and foods she recommends are available in the UK, as it is an American book. I get her emails, but often find that I have never heard of things she refers to!Mon, 27 Sep 2010 19:49:44 GMTChrissieMhttp://www.nos.org.uk/forum/Topic23-5-1.aspxI'm just reading an excellent book on osteoporosis which has tons of information about diet, supplements and lifestyle, it's 'The Bone Building Solution' by Sam Graci [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bone-building-Solution-Sam-Graci/dp/0470838914/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260124292&sr=8-1[/url] I'm very pleased with it, it's full of invaluable information.<br><br>Anne<br>Mon, 07 Dec 2009 11:12:16 GMTAnneBhttp://www.nos.org.uk/forum/Topic23-5-1.aspxHi Flick,<br><br>You ask if we are taking drugs as well as exercise or trying to do without - I personally take Strontium Ranelate (Protelos). I also do a weight lifting technique called SuperSlow which was devised specifically for osteoporotic women to help increase their bone density. I do this weight lifting twice a week, it's roughly 30 minutes only. As well as that I do gentle exercises on a Power Plate Vibration Platform three times a week, takes roughly 15 minutes. And I walk as much as I can. I also pay a lot of attention to my diet making sure that it has an alkaline load rather than acid one, and I take vitamin D3, 2000 IU per day and get my serum levels of D regularly tested. It's an all out multipronged attack on my osteoporosis :)<br><br>Re trampolining: I understand that trampolining could be harmful for osteoporosis as the impact could lead to compression fractures of the spine...something you might have to ask a physiotherapist who has expertise in osteoporosis. <br><br>AnneWed, 02 Dec 2009 14:36:38 GMTAnneBhttp://www.nos.org.uk/forum/Topic23-5-1.aspxHey guys</P><P>Thanks for the info - I shall get reading.
