▪️Exercise of the week ▪️
In support of World Osteoporosis Day (20/10/25), we’re focusing on a simple but important movement: Forward lunge weight transfers
If you’re living with osteoporosis, falls prevention is especially important. Because bones can be more fragile, a fall can lead to serious injury. Regular balance exercises like this one can help you stay steady and confident on your feet.
How to do it:
•Stand tall, next to a wall or holding onto something for support if needed.
•Step into a split stance (as if standing on train tracks, not a tightrope) with one foot in front of the other.
•Shift your weight onto your right leg and lift your left knee toward your chest. Flex your left foot by pulling your toes up toward your shin.
•Place your left foot down in front of you, leading with your heel.
•Transfer your weight onto your front (left) leg, allowing your back (right) heel to lift off the ground naturally.
•Lean slightly back, engage your core, and shift your weight back onto your rear (right) leg, returning to the starting split stance.
Try doing 8-10 repetitions on each leg daily.
