  • This is not an upright row. It IS a cable row. You could call it a standing cable row. (An upright row is where you hold a bar in front of your thighs and pull straight up.)

  • I hope you know the answer to this question: at what age does facial bone loss usually start to take place? Is it as early as the end of puberty?

  • The bones grow until the age of 20 - sometimes earlier. After that we maintain bone to our 40 and from there, bone mass decreases. Osteoporosis is really a Pediartric disease with geriatric consequences. If you do not build bones in your early years, you simply try to maintain an already conpromised bone mass

  • This is the first ACE video that I disagree with!

    1. The bone response to exercise changes: pre-puberty; puberty to pre-menopause; post-menopause. So the exercise prescription has to be different for each of these groups and is different again if osteoporosis is diagnosed.

    2. Strength training does little, if anything, to increase bone mineral density. To increased or maintained bone density:stomp;hop;jump; skip;line dance.

    3. 20 jumps or skips twice a day every day is a good way pre-menopause.

  • Bone is most responsive to mechanical loading during growth; less with age. Bone-loading exercises benefit all life stages & should be included in all programs, especially for those at risk for osteoporosis. Exercises most beneficial are those that amply overload bone w/ high-force magnitude vs. high # of low-force reps. High-force magnitude can be produced via direct loading of bone, e.g., jumping or strong muscular contractions that bend bone, as with higher-intensity strength training.

  • An hour on the bike every night and riding it back and fourth to work sounds like you over stressed your body and did too much exercise. then on top of that you have an active job. That sounds like you over did it to me.

  • I am a 47 year old male, I always worked very hard. Every winter I split 10 cords of fire wood with a splitting mall by hand. I would ride a stationary bike for about one hour every night. I rode a bike to work everyday. Osteoporosis struck me 5 years ago. I awoke with a broken neck. Four months after my surgery I was picking something up and crushed my L4-L5. Exercise did nothing for me. I can barely move my neck and my back is killing me. I see no hope and want it all to end.
