Do you consider yourself to be fit? When assessing fitness,
most of us think about our cardiovascular or muscular fitness. Although this is
important, as we age, we should broaden our concept to include skeletal or bone
fitness. After age 30, our bones have an increased tendency towards loss of
density. In some individuals this leads to osteoporosis, which increases
fracture risk. The good news is there are several steps you can take to
increase your "bone fitness." Exercise is important for everyone, but
especially those diagnosed with osteoporosis.
Purpose: Learn about skeletal fitness and how to improve it
safely
