In the busy holiday season, many of us spend much more time in the kitchen. So why not take advantage of that space to fit in some extra movement practice and exercise that can help your bones and joints?! Rebekah Rotstein, founder of Buff Bones®, will guide you through some simple -- and fun -- "movement snacks" to do while waiting for your stuffing to bake and pots to soak. Join us in your kitchen, and have on hand a large pot, a saute pan, a dish towel, and a soap bottle. Get ready to move more and discover how your kitchen can make your body feel better!
This class will teach you how to strengthen bones and muscles, improve posture and balance. You will learn the exercises that should be performed, the exercises that should be modified and the exercises that should be avoided. It is crucial to learn how to exercise properly because the wrong exercises or improper form can lead to injury. Since we are getting into the holiday season, you will learn how to fit in fitness during the busy holiday season. Several time saving exercises will be demonstrated.
The holidays are fun and sometimes stressful. There can be holiday parties, eating temptations, and family obligations, leaving less time for exercise. For those with osteoporosis, it is not wise to take a break from your fitness program and health practices. 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.
The holidays are a whirlwind of parties, gatherings, and seasonal to-dos, often leaving us feeling “short on time.” But staying active doesn’t need to fall by the wayside, especially for bone health! Even small, consistent movements can benefit both physical and mental well-being. This holiday season, we’re offering a “Quick Moves” Exercise Series designed to make fitting in fitness easy, fun, and impactful—even on the busiest days. Join us to learn exercises that maximize benefits in minimal time, helping you stay on track with your health goals and keep your bones strong!
The presentation will discuss "Proprioception, Power, and Agility: The Deeper Benefits of Strength Training, Impact Training and Yoga Asana for Osteoporosis". Did you know there are hidden benefits to strength training, impact training, and yoga beyond building strong bones and muscles, and improving flexibility? In this program we’ll unlock the lesser-known benefits of strength training, impact training, and yoga, define proprioception, muscle power, and agility, and why these skills are essential for preventing falls and reducing fracture risk in those with osteoporosis. Join us and learn how you can fine-tune what you’re already doing to improve your bone health and make it even more effective.
Carol Michaels will be teaching a FREE posture improvement class on Monday, January 30th at 5pm Eastern Time on Zoom. Good posture allows for efficient movement and better balance while poor posture can cause some muscles to become very weak and some too tight leading to poor range of motion and pain. The vertebrae need to be properly aligned; when posture is improved, there will be less compression on the nerves and decreased pain.
The Bone Buddies virtual online support group is open-to-all and will meet virtually for a healthy eating discussion this Thursday, January 19, at 2:00pm Central Time on Zoom. You can submit questions in advance for a registered licensed dietitian, and she will then have an outline from the questions. She will also answer your questions when you attend the meeting.
Every new year heralds a collective resolution to improve our lives. Far and away, health and wellness are the most popular resolutions in the new year. Unsurprisingly, most people break their resolutions by the middle of February. In fact, studies show that New Year's resolutions have a failure rate of about 80%. So, when setting your health goals for 2023, instead of labeling them New Year's resolutions, think of them as power moves and play the long game.
