After a year and a half, she said she needed more.

I disagreed.

Sounds like the beginning of a breakup, doesn't it?

After more than a year of 20 second workouts once a week on the viiivPRO her strength was trending upward nicely on all 4 exercises. Energy level was good.

She noticed the positive effects. Everything seemed ...

Susan went a different route.

She didn't like the radiation associated with DEXA scans so she decided to have a bone scan with some relatively new technology called Echolight. Some think this will eventually become the new gold standard. We'll see.

Susan started at STRONG WOMEN ROCK in January 2024 ...

Boost Your Bone Health with Measured Isometric Strength Training

Some recent before/after DEXA Bone Mineral Density (BMD) scan results from using the viiivPRO to reverse bone loss:

Bone mineral density (BMD) ...

The results were back!

In one year Cathy’s FEMUR NECK (the super important bridge between the thigh bone and the head that goes into the hip socket) BONE MINERAL CONTENT (BMC) and BONE MINERAL DENSITY (BMD) increased by 19% and 12.7% respectively.

How ...

In a recent viral post on X, singer Avery, who is in her 20's, said she was stunned to learn she now has osteoporosis from using Ozempic for weight loss.

It's true that rapid weight loss without being accompanied by some kind of load-bearing exercise can lead to bone loss in some people. ...

One of the best things I get to see using the viiivPRO is the frustration a client displays when they don't beat their all-time best force output.

And that's a good thing, you ask?

Hell yeah.

That's a competitor, and make no mistake about it, the 80-year old lady with osteoporosis is just as competitive as the 20-year ...

"We want to get to the starting line 80% in shape and 100% healthy rather than the other way around,"

said legendary track coach Harry Marra.

I love this philosophy.

It means don't let your training compromise your health; there's no benefit in being sore, fatigued, stiff, or mentally drained. ...

I love sprinting. It's one of the best things you can do for your body.

Sprinting and isometrics have a lot in common.   So when I recently heard track coach Tony Holler state that sprinting can inoculate you from soft tissue injury it confirmed what I've been teaching, and witnessing in clients at STRONG WOMEN ROCK for decades.

Would you like to have your spine compressed?

I’ll bet you don’t say yes.

Unless you’re affiliated with OsteoStrong® (OS), that is.

I’ve watched dozens of videos from OS franchisees stating the purpose of their “Postural Growth Trigger” is to “compress the spine.” 

Hearing this makes me cringe.

To ...

As we make progress towards the launch of the viiiv-C, the viiiv App is being updated with these animated GIFs that show on the Exercise screen for each exercise (like we currently have for the viiivPRO).

We have also updated the viiivPRO animated exercise instructions so they are easier to read and clearer.

In my last post, I shared Jan’s DEXA Bone Density Scan results summary. Now I am going to share the details.

If you recall, Jan is a 74 year old woman diagnosed with osteoporosis who, on the advice of her physician, took bone density prescription drugs.

The ...

Jan was no different than most 74 year old women. With an osteoporosis diagnosis, and despite reservations, she trusted her doctor and elected to take the prescribed bone density medication. 

Didn’t last long though.

The side effects were horrible.

So in August of 2022, she found STRONG WOMEN ...
