Are you exercising the right way to strengthen your bones and prevent fractures? Many people work out without realizing they may not be doing the best exercises for bone health.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Claudia Tamas, a physical therapist and certified strength and conditioning specialist, to break down the most effective strength and resistance exercises for building stronger bones, improving muscle health, and reducing fracture risk. She shares insights from global communities with virtually no osteoporosis and her work with the ONERO™ program, a scientifically proven approach to osteoporosis exercise therapy.
Tune in to learn how to safely build bone strength through targeted movement!
“If I were to recommend one single exercise that would work on all the risk factors for fractures, that would be the squat. The squat is one of the movements that is integrated in the lifestyle of the communities that have low or inexistent fracture risk.“
~ Dr. Claudia Tamas
