Description
Skeletal Fitness™ is a 1 hour Bone Loading video to help combat osteoporosis by leading exercise expert, Mirabai Holland, M.F.A. Bones are living tissue and become more dense with exercise. Studies show that tennis players, through repeated practice, will develop thicker, stronger bones in their racquet arm than in their other arm. This process is called bone loading. Skeletal Fitness™is a comprehensive bone loading program for the whole body, with special emphasis on the areas at risk for osteoporotic fracture: the spine, thigh bone at the hip, and forearm at the wrist. Skeletal Fitness™ video includes: A one-on-one bone loading workout divided into 6 color coded sections making it easy for beginners to stop and go, or fast forward to any section that needs work. Advanced exercisers can do the full body workout end to end. Plus 2 information sections packed with important facts and illustrations about your bones and Osteoporosis. |

Excellent DVD to Help Your Bones by Cat 5 Stars
February 02, 2009
I have used this exercise program for a few years now. To make it easier to manage my time, I do the upper body workout one day, the lower body the next and then skip a day. This workout is complete and covers every area of the body that is prone to fractures. The program uses weights, resistance and isometrics to challenge the bones in different ways. It starts with a short warm up and ends with a nice relaxing and stretching section. I like that you can go directly to any of these sections on the DVD from the menu. You can feel that the exercises are challenging you but I think anyone can do them. Mirabai guides you every step of the way with hints, reminding you to breathe and encouraging you. She is a very pleasant instructor and easy to follow. I know that my time is well spent in doing something positive for my bones.

Not worth my money by R. Barone  1 Stars
August 30, 2008
Now and again we buy useless products, and this was definitely a waste of my money. Geared towards the elderly (80-90 years old).

beneficial by G. Neiman (Israel)  4 Stars
November 11, 2006
This tape has a no nonsense atmosphere. It is focused on performing exercises that should strengthen bones and muscles, while not pushing too much. The presenter is very professional. Explains every thing during workout, but does not waste too much time, since there is a detailed preface at the beginning of the tape.
I like it, especially as all the exercises are done standing up . My only reservation is that it is a little monotonous and technical, but on the whole, it is a good purchase for those seeking to strengthen their bodies in a controlled way. Suitable for younger and older users as well.

Great Instructor, Safe, Easy & Good Workout by Quite the Researcher 5 Stars
December 05, 2004
I have always been active but have never exercised or weight trained prior to being diagnosed with osteopenia. One can feel confident that they are indeed helping their bones and not causing further injury to them with Mirabai Holland's expertise as an aerobics/exercise instructor and her many certifications. In addition, her voice is very nurturing and pleasant. I only wish that there were more of a variety of videos to choose from for people that are concerned with strengthening their bones.
