My name is Rodrigo J. Valderrábano and I am an Endocrinologist and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School. As a skinny teenager growing up in Puerto Rico, I discovered resistance exercise as a way of building up my physical capacity and confidence. Routine exercise became part of my way of life, but it was not until my endocrinology training at Stanford University that I realized how important it could be for healthy aging and prevention of diseases such as osteoporosis.

Kids and teens need to learn how to maximize their bone health with exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness. The webinar will include exercise demonstrations with the goal of helping to prevent osteoporosis at the critical timeframe in life, and when it will have the greatest impact. This webinar is an excellent resource for parents and grandparents to share with their teens. These simple, fun tutorials can be downloaded onto a cellphone for easy practice anywhere.

This webinar will educate participants on “bone meditation” and include information on how exercise can strengthen bone health. Drs. Justine Bernard and Lisa Grimmer will share valuable insight on how to incorporate GYROKINESIS® and Pilates into your routine.
