Aging Gracefully Takes Muscle
My sister Lucy and I have never traveled together. So, at our present ages of 73 and 66, we decided the time is now.

The most common symptom of osteoporosis is….No symptom! As this silent disease progresses, you may not have any indication that the strength of your skeleton is diminishing, putting you at risk of a serious and debilitating bone fracture. In fact, a fracture could be the first symptom that you have osteoporosis.
For Americans, the average life expectancy now surpasses 78 years, an increase of more than 4 years since 1980. So, at what point do you decide to sit down and stop moving? Never! New science proves that our bodies are constantly growing and renewing as we age, and we can continue to improve our function, mobility, longevity and quality of life with movement.
Now is the time to think about shedding your winter layers and emerging with a stronger, slimmer, firmer body for the lovely warm days ahead. Strength training is key to your success, building muscle power, burning calories and creating leaner body mass.
