The Best Exercises to Prevent Fractures and Strengthen Bones With Dr. Claudia Tamas and Margie Bissinger

Are you exercising the right way to strengthen your bones and prevent fractures? Many people work out without realizing they may not be doing the best exercises for bone health. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Claudia Tamas, a physical therapist and certified strength and conditioning specialist, to break down the most effective strength and resistance exercises for building stronger bones, improving muscle health, and reducing fracture risk. She shares insights from global communities with virtually no osteoporosis and her work with the ONERO™ program, a scientifically proven approach to osteoporosis exercise therapy. Tune in to learn how to safely build bone strength through targeted movement! "If I were to recommend one single exercise that would work on all the risk factors for fractures, that would be the squat. The squat is one  of the movements that is integrated in the lifestyle of the communities that have low or inexistent fracture risk." ~ Dr. Claudia Tamas In this episode: [01:22] - Meet Dr. Claudia Tamas, osteoporosis exercise expert [06:12] - What the research says about fracture risks in women [11:06] - The Liftmor Trial and ONERO™program [12:42] - Muscle strength: the missing link in fracture prevention [14:29] - Balance and fracture risk predictor [15:39] - The relationship between toe strength and fall risk  [16:38] - How poor posture increases osteoporosis risks [30:18] - The ONERO™ program and its impact on bone density [32:59] - The three most important exercises for bone health [38:39] - Osteoporosis exercises demonstration [46:23] - The positive effects of exercise on women's lives Resources mentioned - On-demand class taught by Dr. Claudia Tamas on New Ways to Strengthen Your Foot and Ankle to Prevent Fractures - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/new-ways-to-strengthen-your-foot-and-ankle-to-prevent-on-demand-class - Link to Dr. Claudia's ONERO™ program in Somerset, NJ - https://www.nmrnj.com/our-services/osteoporosis-onero-program/  - Link to Dr. Claudia's Mastering Core Activation for Weight Training and Life Replay Class - https://happyboneshappylife.com/mastering-core-activation-for-weight-training-and-life-replay  - Fullscript - https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/mbissinger   More about Margie Website - https://margiebissinger.com/   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en   DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.
