I am happy to clarify. If the jumps hurt your knees and spine then I would suggest step ups or marching instead. Weight bearing is cardio such as walking, running, stair climbing, dancing, step aerobics etc. where you are on your feet and impacting them into the ground. I sell an indoor weight bearing cardio course with fun moves that are weight bearing and bone/joint safe. Weight training on the other hand would be with weights or machines or resistance bands for muscle and bone strengthening. Here is an article as well: osteoprofitness.com/weight-lifting-or-weight-bearing-exercises/ Hope this helps!

Here is a sample of the indoor weight bearing cardio I do! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jKtpfJV0qMfPd5c.html

⁠@@osteoprofitnessSHAMEFUL “SELF-PROMOTION PLUG”!! 👎🏻 It ALSO “appears” you have NO CLUE what it REALLY “FEELS LIKE” to suffer from LONG-TERM, EXCRUCIATING, UNRELENTING, INOPERABLE and INCURABLE PAIN (that even the “STRONGEST NARCOTIC “PAIN” AND “MUSLE RELAXER” MEDICATIONS, NUMEROUS ROUNDS OF “RF” NERVE ABLATION, NUMEROUS LIDOCAINE AND STEROID INJECTIONS DID NOT “HELP”, MADE THE PAIN EVEN WORSE!!) THAT LITERALLY LEAVES A PERSON 👋🏻 CURLED INTO A FETAL POSITION ON THE FLOOR, SOBBING UNCONTROLLABLY from Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis (BOTH wrists, BOTH elbows, BOTH shoulders, BOTH ankles, BOTH knees, BOTH hips, AND THE ENTIRE SPINE), Degenerative Disc Disease, joint replacement’s (not me…YET but very, VERY SOON!!), SEVERE Osteophytes (that “blur out” old fractures so BADLY, ALL “new x-rays” read by “Radiology Technicians” CLAIM TO NOTE “NO DAMAGE”), collapsed and/or broken “ill-healed” vertebrae on the “ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR” THORACIC and LUMBAR SPINE, COLLAPSED SACRUM VERTEBRAE, an ELONGATED AND REPEATEDLY BROKEN TAILBONE (JUST FROM SITTING!!), Scoliosis (in the upper Thoracic Spine), Neuropathy (in BOTH FEET/ANKLES), pinched nerves EVERYWHERE, DAMAGED NERVES EVERYWHERE, NECROSIS UNDER BOTH KNEECAPS, NEVER-ENDING MUSCLE SPASMS (that are the ONLY THING supporting the SPINE and “keeping you upright!!), an “over-curvature” of the LUMBAR SPINE, Spinal Stenosis, “SEASONAL” JOINT SWELLING (that PUSHES THOSE “SHARP AF” OSTEOPHYTES INTO THE STOMACH CAUSING SEVERE, UNRELENTING CRAMPS and PAIN)….EVEN WALKING HURTS!! I CAN “GO ON” if you LIKE!! 😡 IT. IS. HELL!! 🔥 Offer all the “advice” you want, but UNLESS you are familiar with EVERY SINGLE SUBSCRIBERS’ INDIVIDUAL MEDICAL HISTORY, AND EXPERIENCE “THAT KIND” OF 30+ YEARS OF “EVER-INCREASING” PAIN AND “PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS” YOURSELF; DO NOT tell us to “do things” our OWN DOCTOR’S ADVISE AGAINST!! INEXCUSABLE!!

@@osteoprofitness thank You.

Under your hips or slightly wider is acceptable. Just don't want your base too narrow or too wide is all! ❤

Hard surface to get the impact if you can safely!

As with all exercise programs, check with your doctor before starting any new exercises. I try to offer varying levels of difficulty for people at different fitness levels. Depending on your current fitness level, you may need to do marching instead of jumps. The key is to do bone building exercises at YOUR particular fitness level to stay SAFE, but be PROACTIVE about your bone fitness.The impact from jumps is great for bones, if they can be performed safely.

@@MichelleChristine522 Hey Michelle! A rebounder does not have the same effect as jumping from the floor. It will help with muscle strengthening which is also good for bones, but doesn't give you the "impact" part of exercise treatment for osteoporosis that jumping from the floor does.

what's your issue with knees over toes or squatting below parallel. I train 4 x per week for hypertophy/strength and all my quad dominant movements have my knees over my toes, I routinely do full.rom hack squats and other atg squat variations .. I just learned I have osteopenia so I'm looking to find a good plyo routine to throw into the mix.

@@osteoprofitness Perfect thanks heaps.

@@martinjones5965 oh my!! I was thinking this was my lower body squats video!! Ignore what I said!! Do 25 jumps daily to get the impact for bone building!! Either in one set or split up here and there throughout the day for a total of 25 jumps a day!! NO WEIGHTS ADDED!!

@@osteoprofitness thx for correction. Is more per day (distributed) better?

@@martinjones5965 you can do more but definitely don’t overdo them. Keep an eye on how your body and your joints are handling it and increase slowly!!

@@osteoprofitness thanks heaps

Try in your home first and if no pain or problems you can go outside but ease in slowly with a few jumps and see how your body responds!

@@osteoprofitness I just went to the doctor about a month ago and found out I have bursitis in my left knee. What would you suggest. I have severe osteoporosis in spine and left hip and now bursitis. I don't know where to start.

If you can safely, stretching your calves, quads and hamstrings as well as strengthening your hips with clams exercises will help with bursitis! osteoprofitness.com/how-to-improve-bone-strength/ Ice your knee as needed 15 minutes at least once a day to help with pain with bursitis. You can try ball squats if they do not hurt your knee. osteoprofitness.com/how-to-increase-bone-density/ If it bothers you, let the bursitis heal more before trying again.@@EliseAngelofHealing

@@osteoprofitness Thank you!

Then go outside for 5 mins 🙄

You can go outside or do them during the day. Neighbor should not mind if it is during the day.

LOL! my ex husband went there.

@@osteoprofitness HAHA! First thing I noticed (I went there too). Great video - thank you!🤗
