Product Description
Osteoporosis is on the rise, and while many people are aware that exercise can benefit, traditional fitness exercise is often not specific enough to generate bone. Restorative Exercise for Strong Bones will target sites specifically at risk for bone loss: hips, wrists, vertebrae, and ribs, with exercises designed to increase bone loading. This 40-minute program includes slower-paced exercise designed to increase motor skill of areas not activating on a regular basis due to sitting and postural habits. The tubing will create resistance for walking and sitting exercises, as well as standing, functional movements. Rich with thoughtful exercise prescription and instruction, Restorative Exercise for Strong Bones is designed to be a daily practice and learning experience for exercise treatment and prevention of bone loss. Includes DVD (40 mins) and resistance cords. With Katy Santiago. Imported. |

Something Different for Me by Cat  3 Stars
February 02, 2009
I bought this to use as a sometimes-alternative to Mirabai Holland's "Skeletal Fitness" DVD (EXCELLENT - HIGHLY RECOMMEND)and I find it quite good for that purpose. Instead of weights, it uses resistance bands (included). The exercises for the lower body challenge your bones in a different way than usual and I hear this is a positive thing. The upper body exercises are similar in ways to those in Mirabai's program but, again, use resistance bands. I have started using this DVD periodically instead of Mirabai's to keep my bones challenged. If you are looking for an exercise program for your bones, I would recommend first getting "Skeletal Fitness" and if, like me, you want an option, add this on.
