Exercise for Beginners - Cardio Exercise »

Choose an activity that you enjoy. The best exercise for you is the one you’ll actually do, not the one you think you should do. Walking is a great place to start since it doesn’t require special equipment and you can do it anywhere, but you can try any activity that involves some type of continuous movement like cycling, swimming, running, aerobics, rowing, stairclimbing, etc.

Bone Density »

As we age, our bones become more fragile, and in serious cases, often debilitating fractures and breaks can occur. By the age of 90, as many as 32% of women and 17% of men will have sustained a hip fracture, who’s complications often lead to death.

Osteoporosis is also a huge public health threat- especially among women. Of the estimated 10 million Americans that suffer from osteoporosis, 8 million of them are women.

After menopause, the production of estrogen is significantly reduced, slowing the absorption of much needed minerals into the bone, causing them to weaken.

While the role of exercise in prevention and treatment of osteoporosis is not completely understood, it is known that how much physical stress is applied to the bone, determines how strong the bone is. In other words, the more stress you physically apply to the bone (such as lifting weights, or the impact of running and walking on the lower extremities) the stronger the bone becomes. Stronger bones mean less fractures and breaks, as well a lower chance of developing osteoporosis.
