Half of all adults over 50 will face this risk
We just came across some info that made us do a double-take…
Did you know that one in two women and up to one in four men will break a bone in their lifetime due to osteoporosis?!!!
Not only that...but HALF of all adults age 50 and older are at risk of breaking a bone due to poor bone health.
Even though those worries might seem a long way off, what you do TODAY can have a big impact on your bone health.
Here are some key things you can do to help you stay strong and independent as you get older...
Get enough calcium and vitamin D: Talk to your healthcare provider about ways to make sure you get enough daily.
Strength train regularly: Make muscle-strengthening and weight-bearing exercise a non-negotiable. A minimum of two resistance training workouts a week is recommended.
Don’t smoke and DO limit alcohol intake: Both can lead to bone loss.
Ask your healthcare provider: They can give you info about your risk of getting osteoporosis, and guide you when it comes to getting a bone density test.
If you want help in building healthy habits that support your bones (and the rest of your body, too!), 1 on 1 or 1 to 5 personal training in College Station may be a great fit!

The Minimum Effective Dosing Approach
You know the drill... "Go Big or Go Home!" or "No Pain, No Gain." But let us flip the script.
In the constant hustle of life, balancing a zillion things, ever felt like you're not "making it" in your fitness journey? You're not alone!
Instead of pushing to extremes & feeling drained, what if there's a smarter, more efficient way? Introducing... the MINIMUM EFFECTIVE DOSE.
Imagine:
Fewer but focused workouts
Short & impactful training sessions
Adopting 3-4 key health habits
Opting for healthy convenience foods, instead of complex recipes (Whole30 plan, anyone? )
Why try this approach?
Overwhelmed with life?
Limited time?
New to fitness or bouncing back?
Recouping from illness/injury?
What your "minimum dose" looks like is unique to YOU. Age, likes, time, etc. matter. But, it should rejuvenate, not drain you.
Need help to find that golden balance? A good personal fitness coach can guide you. Manage your day AND achieve your fitness dreams!
