Movie Reviews of Skeletal Fitness by Mirabai Holland Osteoporosis Prevention Bone Loading and Strength Training Exercises:A Workout For Bones and Bone Health for Boomers, Seniors, and Beginners
Movie Review: Improved My Life
Summary: 5 Stars
Since I have been working out with this DVD, I have found it so much easier (and more comfortable) to move about. For example, getting in and out of the car and turning to look behind, when I'm backing the car out. Lifting and reaching for items is easier too. I find I am lifting with my leg and arm muscles, instead of my back muscles. I am up to 5 pound weights on the upper body and use the 1 pound weights for the legs (I'm ready to increase this weight).
I am 55 and I have osteoporosis. I have to be careful how I exercise -- so I don't hurt myself. I recently had a DEXA (bone test) and I am better than I was. Although certainly not the entire reason, I believe this DVD helped. I like Mirabai's attitude on the DVD. She makes me feel good about exercising and the exercise itself make me feel better throughout the day.
I like that the DVD is segmented -- so you can just select the exercises you want to do and don't have to do the entire thing at one time. On the DVD, she says not to exercise every day. Well, I often like to exercise every day. So I will do the warm up and then select either the leg exercises or the upper body workout or perhaps the isometrics. This keeps it varied and interesting. Plus I can use the amount of time I have available to exercise, by varying my selections.
There is one segment where she uses the wall (for standing pushups). This is harder for me, since I don't really have an available wall. However, I have still managed to make-do by using a closed door. Also, when she is doing one of the cool down exercises, I find it a bit difficult not only to do it but to see how she is doing it. These are the only criticisms I can think of. Still, the positives so far outweigh any negatives, that I still give it 5 stars.

Summary of Skeletal Fitness by Mirabai Holland Osteoporosis Prevention Bone Loading and Strength Training Exercises:A Workout For Bones and Bone Health for Boomers, Seniors, and Beginners
Skeletal Fitness by Mirabai HollandŽ is a 1 hour Bone Loading Exercise DVD to help combat osteoporosis and low bone mass, osteopenia. Bones are living tissue and become more dense with exercise. Studies show that tennis players, through repeated practice, will develop thicker, stronger bones in their racquet arm than in their other arm. This process is called bone loading. Skeletal Fitness by Mirabai HollandŽ is a comprehensive bone loading program for the whole body, with special emphasis on the areas at risk for osteoporotic fracture: the spine, thigh bone at the hip, and forearm at the wrist. The DVD includes: A one-on-one bone loading workout with Mirabai Holland M.F.A. divided into 6 color coded sections making it easy for beginners to stop and go, or jump to any section that needs work. Advanced exercisers can do the full body workout end to end. The six colored sections are: ˇRhythmic Warm-up ˇUpper Body with Hand Weights ˇStretch Pull and Twist with Towel ˇIsometric and Wall Resistance ˇLower Body Bone Loading Exercises with Optional Ankle Weights ˇStretch and Relax for Flexibility and Body Awareness The DVD also includes 2 information sections packed with important facts and illustrations about your bones and Osteoporosis.Similar DVD Movies
