Osteoporosis Exercises: Stay Active the Safe Way

Standing Straight on a Leg

This exercise is vital for promoting a better balance. Here’s what the workout entails:

  1. Stand on one foot for a minute; it can be done for as long as possible. If individuals can’t stand alone, then the use of nearby furniture will help.
  2. Switch feet and repeat the entire process.

 

Squats

With squats, the front of the legs can be well strengthened, including the buttocks. However, it’s not necessary to go intense for this specific exercise to work. Here are the steps to take:

  1. Begin with the feet spread wide apart. Place the hands gently on a firm surface or counter to enable balance.
  2. Bend at the knees to go down slowly. Ensure that the back is straight and little leaned forward.
  3. The appropriate position for the squat is when the thighs are parallel to the floor.
  4. Tighten the buttocks to stand
  5. Continue the exercise eight to twelve times.
