1. Introduction

illions of people around the world have been diagnosed with low bone density, osteopenia or osteoporosis and many more will be subject to this condition as the population ages. Some individuals will have the misfortune of a fracture, which in turn will lead them to search for a health care practitioner to assist them with pain control, daily function, ambulation, and ultimately, future fracture prevention. These people are looking for professionals like you to guide them through a safe and effective exercise program that strengthens bone, reduces fracture risk and builds confidence. This course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to assist individuals with these needs at all levels of fracture risk and activity. The online course follows the same format as the 2 day live course except that you have 60 days to complete the material and the quiz, and you can review the material at anytime convenient to you. You can review presentations online as many times as you want during your 60 day access to the course material. Once you have successfully completed the quiz, you will have the option of having your name listed as a Level 1 trained MelioGuide Professional on MelioGuide.com. The screencasts cover the slides presented in the live course. However, the advantage of the online screencasts is that they allow you to pause the presentation at any time and review the material. Most screencasts are no more than 15 minutes in length. This allows for better focus and attention. You may choose to do one at a time or consecutive screencasts. Sections that have consecutive screencasts will be identified as such. The video demonstrations of all the exercises are embedded within exercise section of the web site. This will be explained to you in more detail through the web site overview screencast 11

available once you sign on to your account. The most frequent comment I had from therapists who have taken my live course is that I could easily have spread it over 3 days and that they find the 2 day format rushed. The advantage of the online approach is that you can cover the course material without that feeling of urgency. There is a lot of material here. I have given you estimated times that it should take you to review each chapter. The online version gives you the time you need to explore, learn and absorb the material at your pace. Happy learning!

18. Beginner Level Strength Exercises

here are two major Exercise sections in this chapter. The Beginner Level Exercises are categorized into Warm Up and Strength. As you progress through the chapter, the type of exercise (Warm Up, Strength) will be indicated at the bottom of each page. The Cardiovascular, Flexibility and Postural Exercises have been covered in earlier chapters. Please refer to these chapters for more detail. The client printed guide for the Exercise for Better Bones Program provides the following detail: The frequency and progression of the Warm Up and Strength exercises should be followed as described in the Beginner Exercise Schedule. For the Strength exercises you will require dumbbells, an exercise mat or comfortable carpet to lie on and a burst resistant exercise ball. The equipment you will need can be found at most major outlet stores. Before you start, let me clarify what I mean in the Exercise Schedule when I say “sets” and “reps”? Reps is an abbreviation for repetitions. This is the number of repetitions you do before your muscles are too tired to do any more. Thus, if I ask you to do a set of ten repetitions, I want you to pick a weight that makes the exercise hard enough that by the tenth repetition the muscle you are targeting is very fatigued and you would have a hard time completing another repetition with good form. If the recommended second set indicates that you perform less repetitions than the first set, then you should choose a heavier weight. Sets represent the number of times you redo the exercise. If I ask you to do two sets you should not do them back-to-back. The muscle being targeted needs time to recover - a full minute at the very least! This doesn’t mean you have to sit around and wait. Your recovery time can be used working 195

another muscle group or working on your Balance exercises. I designed the exercise series so that you could do them one after another. This approach allows for an active recovery period. This saves you time and builds a cardiovascular component into your program. Under the Strength Exercises I have listed the prime or main muscles involved in executing the exercise as well as which part of your skeleton gets the most stimulation from the exercise. The three most frequent bone fracture areas (spine, hip, and wrist) are identified. The muscle groups and affected bones are listed under “Targets”. For example, while doing a squat, your muscles at the front of your thighs and your buttocks are the most active and your hip bones are loaded. Your spine gets loaded as you hold weight or wear a weighted vest while doing your squat.

Use of Affirmatives During the Warm Up Exercises You should use personal affirmatives as you go through your Warm Ups to start your session off on the right foot and get yourself into the right frame of mind. An affirmative is a positive personal thought. As you inhale, say to yourself “I am”. As you exhale, choose an affirmation to take with you into your workout: “energized”… “balanced” ... “strong” .... “focussed”. Now onto your first Warm Up Exercise. By the end of this chapter you will be able to: »» Instruct Beginner level clients in strength training exercises.
