Joining us for Steps to Strong Bones on June 5th is Sherri Betz, PT, DPT, the owner of TheraPilates®. We will discuss the topic of Moving Safely as Sherri shares important facts and tips for protecting our fragile bones (including the spine) during our daily activities and how to ensure our fitness activities are “bone safe”. There will be a demonstration on safe lifting, and if you’d like to join in please have a 12 in. x 12 in. box nearby as your prop!
Dr. Betz is a Geriatric Clinical Specialist with over 30 years of experience in physical therapy and fitness. She leads in-person and virtual consultations and Bone Safe Exercise Programs.

If you've been wanting to move more this year, there's no better time to start than now! The Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF) has revitalized the Steps to Strong Bones™ program to help you stay motivated and committed to your fitness goals. And the best part? You don't have to make drastic changes to your routine to start seeing some benefits.
In fact, investigators from Columbia University found that 5 minutes of walking every half hour during prolonged periods of sitting can help offset harmful effects. The study showed the 5 minutes of walking every thirty minutes lowered blood pressure and blood sugar! Now that’s a “power move” that sounds manageable.
To keep you on track and motivated, BHOF will be hosting monthly Zoom meetings at 12pm ET on the first Monday of every month where you can connect with like-minded individuals and share your progress. You'll also get the chance to listen to motivational speakers and talk about your experiences on getting motivated to move. If you’d like to participate (just once or more), click here to sign-up and we’ll be sure to send you the link to the Zoom meeting every month. Join when you can!
And if you're already motivated and moving on your own, consider joining BHOF's Be Bone Strong™ team to help raise money to support their mission. It's a great way to give back while doing activities you likely already enjoy in your area.
Remember, staying strong and getting enough weight-bearing exercise is crucial for your bone health. So, commit to moving more this year and join us on our journey to taking Steps to Strong Bones™!
