Most people with osteoporosis can exercise safely. Choose the exercise and level of intensity that is right for you.
Talk to your doctor or physiotherapist before starting any exercise if you:
have a history of many broken bones or spinal fractures
are recovering from a broken bone
have any questions or concerns about your own personal situation.
They can tell you about what exercises and activities are safe and suitable for you.
About dance for your bones
The dance includes moderate-impact exercise such as hops and jumps.
In this film, you can watch the dance, learn and practice and then dance it all together.
We teach the dance in six sections and you can choose how much or how little of the dance you want to learn. Do what feels safe and comfortable for your body, and have fun!
We hope this is a dance you enjoy and do over and over again.
You can dance for your bones with your family and friends, or enjoy it alone. You could even add your own music.
