Editorial Review: Skeletal Fitness™ is a 1 hour Bone Loading video to help combat osteoporosis by leading exercise expert, Mirabai Holland, M.F.A. Bones are living tissue and become more dense with exercise. Studies show that tennis players, through repeated practice, will develop thicker, stronger bones in their racquet arm than in their other arm. This process is called bone loading. Skeletal Fitness™is a comprehensive bone loading program for the whole body, with special emphasis on the areas at risk for osteoporotic fracture: the spine, thigh bone at the hip, and forearm at the wrist.
Skeletal Fitness™ video includes:
A one-on-one bone loading workout divided into 6 color coded sections making it easy for beginners to stop and go, or fast forward to any section that needs work. Advanced exercisers can do the full body workout end to end.
Plus 2 information sections packed with important facts and illustrations about your bones and Osteoporosis.

This tape has a no nonsense atmosphere. It is focused on performing exercises that should strengthen bones and muscles, while not pushing too much. The presenter is very professional. Explains every thing during workout, but does not waste too much time, since there is a detailed preface at the beginning of the tape.
I like it, especially as all the exercises are done standing up . My only reservation is that it is a little monotonous and technical, but on the whole, it is a good purchase for those seeking to strengthen their bodies in a controlled way. Suitable for younger and older users as well.

Great Instructor, Safe, Easy & Good Workout , 2004-12-06
I have always been active but have never exercised or weight trained prior to being diagnosed with osteopenia. One can feel confident that they are indeed helping their bones and not causing further injury to them with Mirabai Holland's expertise as an aerobics/exercise instructor and her many certifications. In addition, her voice is very nurturing and pleasant. I only wish that there were more of a variety of videos to choose from for people that are concerned with strengthening their bones.

Top-Notch Workout for Bones, 2004-09-29
I'm a former gym junkie and lifted weights three times a week for years. I must say that Skeletal Fitness has completely replaced my lifting routine. I now have confidence that I'm doing everything to stave off osteoporosis for my entire body--including areas that my previous routine didn't address, such as the wrists. I would award the video 10 stars if I could--it's that good. Plus, Mirabei presents herself as the kind of instructor anyone would welcome into her home on a regular basis.

Great Video, 2004-01-08
I loved this video!! It is a balanced easy-to-follow workout for anyone with concerns about osteoporosis, or for anyone new to a fitness program. The instruction is one-on-one, making you feel like you are having a session with a personal trainer. Very little equipment is required. Mirabai Holland provides detailed direction on how to do each exercise, as well as explanations of what the exercise is intended to accomplish and why it is important. At the beginning and the end of the tape, there is lots of very valuable information on the causes, treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. A real winner!.

Great workout tape, 2004-01-06
I would highly recommend this videotape. I had been looking for exercise routines for dealing with osteoporsis and am really glad that I found this. It was informative and user friendly. The rationale was presented clearly and the exercises were demonstrated so that I could easily see what I need to do. Options were given so that I could adjust the exercises to my current level of fitness plus ways that I can adapt as I progress. I have read and been told that I should do some weight bearing exericse, but didn't know exactly what would be an effective routine. I believe that I have found one and will continue to use it.
