The Stay Fit Seniors Program and Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a major public health problem that is characterized by low bone mass and increased susceptibility to fractures, primarily of the hip, spine, and wrist.  Physical activity, particularly weight-bearing exercise, is thought to provide the mechanical stimuli or "loading" important for the maintenance and improvement of bone health. A positive relationship between the effects of the right resistance training, for bone density and the right aerobic activity, with its benefits, is a great combination for over all senior health and longevity. These two types of exercise, in a Senior safe environment, is the Stay Fit Seniors Formula. This program has the added benefit of influencing multiple risk factors for osteoporosis from improved strength and balance to increased muscle mass, in contrast to pharmacology approach alone.
