Stop wasting time, money and effort on things that don’t actually improve bone density.
You deserve access to expert support, and scientifically-validated exercise guidance that actually produces results on your Dexa scan. Sadly, it can be challenging to access these resources; doctors typically don’t have the relevant strength training qualifications, and the internet is full of contradictory, confusing advice.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- You’ve been told to go for walks, use ankle weights, or do planks- all fine general exercise, but none of it will move the needle on bone density
- You’re supposed to never “bend over”, yet no one has explained the difference between spinal flexion (potentially risky) and a hip hinge (totally safe!), or how you’re supposed safely pick up and carry objects in daily life
- You’ve been cautioned to “be very careful”, and yet “do weight bearing exercise” in order to improve your BMD- which is it, and what exactly should you be doing?!
- You know you should improve your posture and balance, but no one has given you actual guidance on how to do that
If any of the above rings a bell, consider this your sign: you can stop wasting time and money on things that are ineffective, or worse, unsafe. It’s time to empower yourself with the knowledge that will actually translate to a better Dexa scan!

If you're looking for research-backed exercise tools to improve your bone density, you've come to the right place.
Many people report having difficulty accessing detailed, evidence-based information on how to exercise for better bone density. In fact, an overwhelming majority of osteoporosis patients tell us that their doctor didn't provide any exercise guidance at all!
Did you know that:
- Just like muscles, bones need to be loaded and challenged in order for them to strengthen. Specifically, bones need compressive loading
- To be effective, the exercises need to provide axial loading, and target the most common areas of density loss: hips, spine and wrists
- Your program needs to provide progressive overload: sticking with the same weights and exercises forever will not increase your bone density
- Your bones need to be challenged frequently in order to strengthen: exercising once or twice a week is not enough
- Walking, yoga, pilates, and other body weight exercise is not effective for improving bone density
In order to improve bone density and truly reduce fracture risk, your exercise routine should be osteo-specific... and it HAS to include compressive, axial, and progressive loading.

Real life results: see what others have loved about our 13-week osteoporosis program!
“I can't even begin to tell you how much your whole program has meant to me. After each session, I feel so much stronger and so relaxed. My flexibility and strength have improved so much and I'm able to do things that I never thought I could possibly do!”
"My lumbar spine remains in osteoporosis range but improved 20% from my original -4.5 Dexa score. The femoral neck and total hip improved 15% and are back in the osteopenia range, which is amazing! The Strength Training program has been a big influence here and in my overall outlook on life with osteoporosis and I thank you profusely.”
“Thank you so much for listening and for caring so much about Women's Health. My improved DEXA Scan would not have been possible without your program.”
"I just got another DEXA scan, and although I still have osteopenia, my spinal bone density has increased 8.5%! My posture and strength have improved. I can now shovel snow without my back telling me to stop after a few minutes. The support and encouragement from the instructors and the other women in the group have helped each of us extend our weightlifting goals. Thank you!”
”I was a bit nervous that I wouldn't be able to do the exercises because of hip and knee injuries. The instructors are so encouraging and able to modify exercises that I was soon very comfortable and excited to make progress. I am so happy with my improvements! I am stronger, my balance is getting better, as is my flexibility. The combination of the weight training and yoga elements really suits me. I always feel better after a workout and I am grateful for it!”
