Standing full-body weight training on a timer, osteoporosis friendly, with lighter and heavier weights and a chair nearby.

All exercises are done standing and are osteoporosis friendly, set to a timer so you can go at your own pace. Each round has two 45-second upper body moves, two 45-second lower body moves and a 60-second upper and lower body combo, repeated for four rounds with lighter and heavier weights. A chair is handy for balance and the cool-down. The video runs about 38 minutes.
