I checked online today to see if there were any new osteopenia exercises recommended.   I clicked on one site that was titled “osteopenia exercise”.  But to my great dismay, it turned out to simply be an ad for actonel.

(In case you may be unaware, actonel is one of the biophosphate  “bone density” drugs that is causing severely painful side-effects for its users…)

There are several osteopenia exercise methods to improve the density of our bones, and taking actonel
is definitely not one of them.

How sad that our drug companies are attempting to brain-wash people into believing that the only way to improve any aspect of our health is with medications.

The only true way to build stronger, healthier bones is with some form of strength training, and proper diet. I have already written about the Osteoball developed by Dr. Sweezey of UCLA. (See article on this blog.) That way of exercising has benefited our astronauts and many others just like me.

Another form of osteopenia exercise to develop stronger bones is with weights. If you do not have any dumbbells available and are hesitant to buy them, an easy way to get started with weights is to take a can or two of veggies and put them in a plastic bag. Tie it securely to avoid having them fall out of the bag during your exercise routine.

An excellent book that outlines this method and illustrates the very simple exercises is The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution: Slow Motion Exercises That Will Change Your Body in Just 30 Minutes a Week. The originator, Fred Hahn has thoroughly tested his routine in his fitness training clinic with celebrities in New York City.

In writing this book, Fred has collaborated with two physicians Dr. Mary Dan Eades and Dr. Michael Eades, who heartily endorse his method and use it with their patients.  I am 82 years old and am easily able to do all of them, so I highly recommend them for everyone at any age.
