Yes, Lorraine, i did. I was diagnosed with osteopenia and immediately increased my daily walking which is obviously a weight bearing exercise. The result of my next DEXA scan was normal. Really.

I take the prolia shot every 6 months for 3 years now one more year and Dr said they would look into me taking reclast. A new study she is looking at. I also go to the YMCA 5 days a week and dance low impact 3 of those days with lifting some weights. Zumba on Wed. thurs glider. I am pretty sure with the Prolia shot and doing this is why my numbers improved significantly.

Hi Lorraine, I have posted before that with walking and line and ceilidh dancing I reversed my osteopaena to normal. However, because of pain in knee I have gone back into the osteopaena category again thru lack of walking. Very worried for next bone density scan that I may have slipped further. I have never taken anything other than calcium, vit d, k2 and magnesium. Good luck to u.

I tried exercise first for many years. But my last Bonedensity was much worse so now I am taking Actonel. I also continue my walks and exercises from physiotherapist.

has anyone just tried an exercise program only when they were at the osteopenia stage and was it successful.
