Osteoporosis safe exercise Cork: bone strengthening and balance

Bones are living tissue which change in thickness, mass and shape through use, just like your muscles. If you wanted to strengthen your muscles, you would use them – you’d pull on objects (lifting weights in a gym or you lift shopping bags in daily life) and you’d also push on objects (doing push ups as exercise or pushing open doors in daily life). You can strengthen your bones in much the same way – through using them.

Buff Bones® is a medically-endorsed full-body workout that combines Pilates, functional movement, strength training, and therapeutic exercise with bone-strengthening and balance techniques to optimize the health and safety of your bones. The workout follows a research-supported design of specifically sequenced exercises, making it an entire system of bone and joint health, rather than just a set of exercises. Toning your arms, hips, back and abs, the Buff Bones® system also improves posture, is adaptable to varying levels, and is even safe for those with osteoporosis.
