Hello, this is not a comment for sharing it is a query about the suitability of the recommended flexiblity exercises 1 and 2 for people with osteoporosis. I understand that both bending forward and twisting at the waist may not be recommended for people with osteoporosis. Although the directions for the forward flexion of the spine flexibility exercise said to keep a straight back, the person in the illustration has a rounded back. As so many older people have osteoporosis, I think you should consider including a warning with these two activities. Thanks Susan
