This presentation will teach you how to live a healthy lifestyle during the busy holiday season. Several time saving exercises will be demonstrated. You will need hand weights, a mat, and a resistance band and will receive a Zoom invite the evening prior to the class.
In the United States, 54 million people age 50 and over either have or are at risk of developing osteoporosis. Approximately one in two women and up to one in four men over the age of 50 will break a bone in her or his remaining lifetime. These injuries can cripple and even kill older Americans, as almost one in three hip-fracture patients and about 20 percent of all fracture patients die within a year.
