Exercise for osteoporosis can feel confusing: How often should you lift weights? Does walking count? How many strength-training days do you need, and when should you rest? In this video, I’ll show you how to build a realistic osteoporosis exercise plan that includes strength training, walking, balance, posture, recovery, and progressive overload—so you can create a weekly routine that supports better bone health and fracture prevention.
If you’d like help putting these ideas into practice, I’d love to welcome you into the Bone Builder Community. Inside the Community, you’ll find guided osteoporosis-safe exercise classes that combine strength, balance, and posture work, with options for different abilities and fitness levels so you can choose the version that works best for your body.

In this video you’ll learn how to choose two strength-training days each week, how to work your major muscle groups, and how to tell whether an exercise is challenging enough without sacrificing good form. We’ll also talk about why walking is valuable, how to progress your walks, and why walking alone doesn’t replace strength, balance, and posture training.
I’ll walk you through:
How often to strength train with osteoporosis
How many repetitions to aim for
How to use progressive overload safely
How to know when an exercise is too easy or too hard
How walking fits into an osteoporosis exercise plan
When to take recovery days
How to combine strength, balance, posture, and aerobic activity into one week
How to modify exercise if you have injuries, balance concerns, or other limitations
You’ll also see an example of a simple weekly osteoporosis exercise schedule that you can adapt to your own abilities and needs.
Remember: your fracture history, injuries, balance, experience, and current health all affect which exercises and levels of challenge are appropriate for you. If you have a recent fracture, significant pain, or major balance concerns, work with a qualified healthcare or exercise professional to determine the safest starting point.
