New exercise for bone health films: muscle-strengthening

Here we share some films which focus on muscle-strengthening exercise for you to try. These follow on from our films on weight-bearing impact exercise.

Most people with osteoporosis can exercise safely. Choose the exercises and level of intensity that is right for you. If you have any questions or concerns about your personal situation, talk to your healthcare team.

All films are part of our brand-new series of short films which feature the two types of exercise needed for bone strength – weight-bearing impact and muscle-strengthening.

Produced by ROS Clinical Advisor, Sarah Leyland, in partnership with professionals, the series explains the importance of combining moderate impact exercise with progressive muscle-resistance training, providing a three-stage plan about ways to exercise effectively and to build up safely.

The films are aimed at anyone wanting to work on exercise to promote bone strength and especially those who are able to add in some intensity into their exercise routine. These won’t be suitable for everyone, but doing any form of exercise at whatever level is always important to reduce loss of muscle and bone strength.

Remember to warm up before, and cool down after, exercising. We also have films to show you how to do this properly in our Exercise information.
