Question 1

What does the program actually do for bone health?

Accepted Answer

Bone-IQ delivers a personalized strength and impact training program designed to stimulate bone formation and slow or reverse bone loss. It applies progressive overload, mechanical loading, and site-specific training to target areas most vulnerable to fractures such as the hips, spine, and wrists.

Question 2

Is it an app, a live coaching program, or both?

Accepted Answer

Bone-IQ is an app-based platform that functions like a personalized digital coach. It provides structured workouts, guided instruction, and adaptive progression based on your performance and feedback without requiring scheduled live sessions.

Question 3

What exercises are included?

Accepted Answer

The program includes strength training (such as squats, hinges, presses, and rows), impact loading (such as step-downs and low-level plyometrics when appropriate), and balance and stability work. Exercises are selected to load key skeletal regions and are progressed over time.

Question 4

How long is each session?

Accepted Answer

Each session is approximately 30–40 minutes, designed to provide sufficient stimulus for bone adaptation while remaining sustainable for long-term consistency.

Question 5

Do I need equipment, or can I do it at home?

Accepted Answer

The program is designed for home use. Recommended equipment includes dumbbells (starting around 10 lbs and progressing), with optional resistance bands or a step/bench. Access to weights is important for effective bone loading.

Question 6

Is there video guidance or step-by-step instruction?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every exercise includes demonstration videos, written instructions, technique cues, and how-to guidance accessible during workouts to ensure proper form and safety.

Question 7

Does it track progress over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bone-IQ tracks weights used, repetitions, sets, workout completion, and user feedback. This data is used to automatically adjust future workouts for continued progression.

Question 8

Will this improve bone density or only help me feel stronger?

Accepted Answer

The program is designed to do both. Users typically notice strength improvements first, followed by longer-term changes in bone density with consistent training.

Question 9

How soon should I expect results?

Accepted Answer

Strength and confidence may improve within 2–6 weeks, balance and movement quality in 4–8 weeks, and bone density changes typically occur over 6–12 months or longer with consistent training.

Question 10

Do I need a DEXA scan before starting?

Accepted Answer

No. A DEXA scan is not required, though it can be helpful for establishing a baseline or tracking long-term changes, especially for individuals with osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Question 11

Is this scientifically proven or evidence-based?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The program is based on research showing that progressive resistance training, impact loading, and targeted skeletal loading improve bone density and reduce fracture risk.

Question 12

Does it help with posture, balance, or fall prevention too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The program improves postural strength, balance, coordination, muscle strength, and reaction time, all of which contribute to reduced fall and fracture risk.

Question 13

Is it safe if I have osteopenia or osteoporosis?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when performed with appropriate progression. The program starts at a safe level, avoids high-risk movements initially, and progresses gradually as strength improves.

Question 14

Do I need medical clearance before starting?

Accepted Answer

Medical clearance is recommended if you have prior fractures, recent surgery, significant pain, or mobility limitations. Most individuals can begin without formal clearance.

Question 15

What exercises should I avoid if I have fractures, pain, or joint issues?

Accepted Answer

You should avoid deep spinal flexion, twisting under load, and high-impact exercises before building sufficient strength. The program guides users toward safer alternatives.

Question 16

Is the program appropriate for beginners or older adults?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The program is designed to adapt to beginners, older adults, and those returning after time off, starting conservatively and progressing over time.

Question 17

What happens if I feel pain, dizziness, or soreness during a session?

Accepted Answer

Stop immediately if you experience sharp pain or dizziness. Mild soreness is normal. Persistent discomfort should be reported in the app so adjustments can be made. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms continue.

Question 18

How much does it cost, and are there hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

Bone-IQ includes 3 free personalized workouts. After that, it costs $19.99 per month or $99.99 per year. There are no hidden fees, and all features are included in the subscription.

Question 19

Is there a free trial, free content, or annual renewal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Users receive 3 free personalized workouts before subscribing. Afterward, they can choose monthly or annual plans, with annual offering a lower effective monthly cost.

Question 20

Can I cancel, pause, or resubscribe later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can cancel at any time, resubscribe later, and retain your progress history when you return.
