Osteostrong is a unique, proven, efficient program for building and maintaining bone health. There are two aspects to review here: The program itself, and the Los Gatos center. As for the program, you visit the center once a week, for 20-30 minutes, during which you work on four machines (two upper body, one lower body, one whole body), followed by some balance training and a brief hydromassage. On the machines, you push, pull or lift--as hard as you can--one time for each. That one time is enough to stimulate bone growth for days because it represents exertion of multiple times body weight, much more than you can achieve lifting weights. This program suits me perfectly because, while I know weight-bearing exercise is essential, I don't like working out at a gym, I don't have the discipline to lift weights at home, and, even if those two things weren't true, I don't trust myself to do such exercises safely. After a year of Osteostrong, my bone scan shows--for the first time-- no loss of bone over the past four years. I expect to see improvement in the next scan. ( Frankly, this is a great relief.) As for the Los Gatos Center, the trainers are skilled professionals, every time ensuring that I'm using each machine correctly--yet, bonus!, every time, they are fun to spend time with. It is always a pleasure to visit. read more
