What every woman should know about osteoporosis
It’s your one-stop place for the what we need to know about this potentially debilitating condition. In this free 1-hour workshop at Serenity Fitness Club on Saturday, March 21 at noon,
you’ll get information you can share with your daughters, sisters, girlfriends, and mothers. We’ll talk about what the numbers from your bone scan mean (and why you want to get a scan!) and how much calcium you really need. We’ll address both osteoporosis and osteopenia (the forerunner of osteoporosis). You’ll learn the risk factors for osteoporosis — the ones you can’t change AND the ones you can. You’ll leave knowing the questions you need to ask your doctor — about exercise, drugs, and supplements. You’ll be better informed about bone health for women from adolescence to advanced age.
Wear workout clothes. We’ll practice some balance exercises for fall prevention and show you how to move safely at home and at the gym.
