(I refer to this as ‘lifting like a man‘, more weight & fewer reps than we women are accustomed to.)

Physical Therapist Margaret Martin discusses weight training for bone health as well as bone density and in particular, the LIFTMOR osteoporosis weights program. But she insists you do it with supervision.

Margaret discusses the effects of weight training on bone health and bone density when you lift to 80 to 85% of your one rep max. She covers the four exercises in the LIFTMOR study and provides guidance as to whether you should follow this weight training program for your bone health and osteoporosis and safety tips to follow.

Lace Up to Live Longer: The Sneaker Secret to Preventing
Discover how something as simple as lacing up your sneakers can help you live longer and reduce your risk of colon cancer! New research reveals that regular physical activity, whether it’s walking, jogging, or cycling, can have a profound impact on your colon health by slashing cancer risks by nearly a quarter and improving survival rates. Exercise activates key protective mechanisms in your body, including reducing inflammation, enhancing your immune system, speeding up waste movement through your digestive system, and promoting a healthy gut microbiome. In fact, just one hour of movement per week can start to make a difference, with the greatest benefits seen at 7+ hours weekly. You don’t need to be a marathon runner to reap the rewards—simple, consistent movement is all it takes to lower your risk and potentially prevent colon cancer. Lace up your sneakers and take control of your health—because every step matters in protecting your body and living a longer, healthier life!
