in Weight Bearing Exercises

If you are looking to incorporate osteoporosis exercises with free weights into your program, you should consider the Row With Support. It is one of the strength exercises in the Active level of my osteoporosis exercise program, MelioGuide Exercise for Better Bones Program. This exercise also promotes weight bearing through the wrists.

This osteoporosis exercise targets a number of muscles in the upper back. It also promotes weight bearing through the supporting wrists. In terms of bones, your spine and wrist will benefit from this exercise.

    Hi Margarent,
    It’s always so helpful to see your exercises performed. I would have liked to see that exercise from the “lifting side” too.
