Girls, we are always talking about eat healty, exercise , no smoke, no drink etc... if you have osteoporosis.
I start taking medicine two months ago only, but I did everything right in terms of food and drink and also I've been exercising since 2019 when I retaired.
Even though, my spinal score decrease from -1,9 to -3,2 since 2019.
I walk 6 days a week ( 1-1,5 hours a day) and I swimm 40 min 1 x a week. Recently I've included 04 types of bearing exercises .
How much exercise it is enough?
That’s annoying isn’t it! I wonder how accurate your DEXA is or even was the first time round - was it done on the same machine by the same operator? Were you positioned correctly each time? Although I suppose you are five years older.
Like you I walk for at least an hour every day and I do 2 x 1 hour long sessions of Pilates every week, we used to do three sessions - Mon, We’d and Fri. a day in between each session to give our bodies a break.
I’m in a group of six ladies - we are all fragile in our own ways. Dodgy shoulders, knee replacements, people with osteoporosis, scoliosis etc, We do a variety of different exercises, stretches, balancing exercises etc. all very varied and different parts of our body are covered in each session and at a level that suits each of us.
The big thing being that nothing should cause pain and if something hurts we must stop, even if the teacher (who is a physiotherapist) has told us to do it and even if we’ve done it before. Rest days are important too.
On top of that I do housework and light gardening.
Similar to my rotine also. I do housework and gardening too. Regarding my Dexa, not at the same place nor same professional, but I wonder that shouldn t have small diferences between one to another... anyway I can not repeat since the last one was in May. Too much X rays( mammogram, teeth , mobile, computer ....)
Thank you so much for your reply. It is been very helpfull share experiences with all of you here.
