Please stop telling people with osteoporosis not to lift anything heavy... I've heard it from docs, PTs, Trainers, etc... This might seem protective... but it's not.

This risk calculation... A hip fracture in an older adult carries a one-year mortality rate of roughly 25 percent. Half of those who survive never walk independently again. That is the cost of fragility.

The risk of a well-supervised, progressively loaded heavy (80-85% 1RM) strength program (LIFTMOR) is a muscle strain or a bruise. These are not equivalent risks, and treating them as equivalent, as avoidance does, is not caution. It is a decision to accept the larger risk in order to avoid the smaller one.

Apologies for the background noise, life on @Space_Station is loud! Without daily exercise on the ISS, we would lose significant muscle mass and bone density, since we don’t have the daily loading on our bodies that Earth’s gravitational environment provides.

We have the ARED 🏋️‍♀️ (Advanced Resistive Exercise Device), an engineering marvel that can be configured into a large number of weight lifting exercises, a cycle ergometer 🚲 (think a stationary bike with no handlebars and no seat — not needed in space!), and a treadmill. 🏃‍♀️

I started exercise right away, and it was so cool. Complete muscle memory! Really feels like I never left.

Here’s a peek into our daily exercise routine!

@AlbertBreer @Delta @AlbertBreer sorry to hear! My wife had the same exact experience today trying to get us back home to NY. @Delta def dropping the ball

@MattParrino LOVED The Ground Round. Demanded we have all of my early bday parties there. Great grilled cheese from what I remember

It's a slide that the NFL shared with every team:

The last 4 Super Bowl 🏆champions ranked #1, #2, #9, and #12 out of 32 teams for lowest number of training camp LEX strains.

Seems like a "boring" calf strain is pretty important after all. (8/8)

@bunsenbernerbmd This is George for Ge!

@hjluks The Bear. Easy to watch, very well done. Not quite chill but worth the watch for sure.

@AshleyGWinter Patients always remember when I use that cue 😂. Gotta paint the whole pic; gross person in “friends zone” in high school, braces, holitosis, the whole deal

[Jake Altman @jakealtmandc]

@RyanTalbotBills Glad to hear. Hope your back to 100% soon - esp because of that amazing Green Ranger shirt 🤩

[Jake Altman @jakealtmandc]

@BradleyGelber So sorry for your loss, Brad. You and Teddy were lucky to have each other
