Hi All
I'm 55 years old and have been doing Cathe for at least 25 years. I'd consider myself a rather advanced (for a 55-year-old) exerciser, and I try to lift pretty heavy, generally. I've also taken appropriate calcium forever. I just found out that I have severe osteoporosis (-3.7 spine, -2.6 hips). My PCP referred me to an endocrinologist, and I'm waiting for my appointment (3 months). Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out what others in a similar situation have done.
All the exercises I've found for this condition seem to be for beginners who have never lifted and are not really in shape. Does anyone have any advice while I wait (not so) patiently for my appointment?
Oh, and if anyone has done Osteostrong I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks all.
