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.
Falls Prevention Awareness Week will take place from September 18-22, 2023. Please join the NYSOPEP Osteoporosis Support & Education Group on September 21, 2023, at 4pm ET as they review the latest information on fall risk factors and prevention followed by a short Tai Chi session. Please call 845-786-4771 or email info@nysopep.org to register for this free community event.
Back-to-school season offers up a whirlwind of activity. The to-do list can seem endless when you’re shopping for school supplies, updating wardrobes, adjusting to earlier alarm clocks, and managing extracurriculars. Meal prep can feel like an added drag when you’re already burning the candle at both ends. But, packing bone-healthy lunches doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a little advance planning and creativity peppered in, you and your family can enjoy deliciously satisfying meals that are good for your bones.
Joining us for the August 2023 Steps to Strong Bones program are Barbara Hannah Grufferman, the Be Bone Strong Team Captain, and Jill Pompi, a Be Bone Strong Team runner for the NYC 2023 Marathon. They discuss how they got started running, training for the NYC Marathon, and their motivation to keep going. Watch the video recording now!
