Choosing osteoporosis exercise support: Bone Fit and LIFTMOR

Understand the difference between professional training, a research trial and an app before choosing support.

Awaiting clinical review — written from published sources and not yet checked by a clinician. Talk to your provider before acting on it.

A familiar research name can help you start a search, but it cannot tell you whether a service fits your needs. Ask what the provider actually delivers and who will adapt it for you.

Bone Fit is training for professionals

Bone Fit provides osteoporosis exercise training to health and community fitness professionals. Its public site has a trained-professional locator. It is not a single workout prescription for everyone. Ask about the professional’s underlying qualifications, experience with your needs and scope of practice.

LIFTMOR was a supervised trial

The original LIFTMOR trial studied selected postmenopausal women with low bone mass over eight months. Training included supervised high-intensity resistance and impact exercise twice weekly, with five sets of five repetitions above 85% of one-repetition maximum. These are study details, not instructions to test your maximum or reproduce the program at home. Read the trial overview.

Ask what support means in practice

  • Who reviews my fracture history, current symptoms and exercise experience before I begin?
  • Will someone observe me, and is that in person, live remotely, or only a recorded demonstration?
  • Who chooses my starting load and decides when to change it?
  • What happens if an exercise hurts, I miss several weeks, or my health changes?
  • What qualifications does the person supervising me hold, and how can I verify them?
  • What does the price include, and when can I expect a reply to a question?

Where Bone Builder fits

Bone Builder provides exercise demonstrations and logging to support a routine. Its plans are adaptations; the app has not reproduced the LIFTMOR trial and does not confer Bone Fit certification. A camera or video cannot provide clinical clearance. Peak requires individual assessment and direct supervision. See how progression works before deciding whether the available support meets your needs.

A useful provider should be able to explain both what they can help with and when they would refer you to someone else.
