I go to a Kinesis class once or twice a week. It is a rehabilation class at our local Leisure Centre supervised by a trained instructor. Kinesis uses weights with a pulley system so that you always raise and lower the weights in a slow controlled way. I believe this keeps my back muscles strong as well as arms, legs etc. I make sure that I never bend over with a curved back. Always straight, bending at the hips. I had a DEXA scan 2 years ago with a score of -2.7 in my spine . I am hoping this is helping alongside calcium supplements, good diet and regular walking. I take AA with no side effects.

Wow! Cool!!! Thanks!

This is interesting, thank you. My hip score at my last DEXA scan had improved, probably due to walking with a Ramblers group but my spine was 9% worse so I'm now on AA weekly as well as calcium and vit d - all to counteract the side effects of Anastrozole hormone therapy for breast cancer. I hadn't been able to find spinal strength exercises so will try these.
