Here's a thumbs up approach to helping reduce osteopenia and osteoporosis.  In this day and age with all the information out there about how women need to protect their bones and avoid osteopenina and osteoporosis, I am still surprised at how few women regularly lift weights.  As a Certified Senior Strength Trainer (a special certification for physical therapy that qualifies me for those 50 and over), I frequently see people after they have let this go too long and get that unfortunate diagnosis from their doctor.  The good news is that most of my client's find that they "grow an inch" by their next physical after working with me.  Here's help to keep those bones strong! See my Blog this week's and the main article below!

Belly Fat Got You Down? 
DON'T MISS YOGA THIS WEEK!  Here's a thumbs up approach backed by research to losing that pouch for good!

The latest research shows that belly fat and cortisol can be greatly reduced by a yoga practice I offer at JKFY -- it's so popular I've added an extra class per week!  Don't miss Stretch and Restore on Wed. and now also on Thursday nights for the connection of movement and meditation!  Why? Click here to learn more about the immense benefits of this type of yoga!

Yin restorative pose
What is Stretch and Restore Yoga?  This relaxing flow class combines the benefits of a flow class and ends with restorative Yin and meditation for stress relief and positive visualizations. Great for any level from beginner on up it is especially beneficial in opening tight joints like shoulders and hips, plus easier on wrists, knees, shoulders and feet.

THIS WEEK'S FEATURE!  - No Bones About It - Women You Need to Lift a Minumum of Twice A Week! 
Exercise and diet can have a profound impact on our life.  But one of the important risk factors  is peak bone mass--the highest amount of bone mass a woman can achieve in her lifetime.  To maintain consistent bone formation (otherwise known as remodeling) women must remain active enough to ensure adequate stress is being placed on their bodies--but this is also important for young adults and even teens.  But if you are not lifting weights at least twice a week, you are in serious danger of developing osteopenia and ultimately osteoporosis as you age. Why?

Many people are concerned with what their outer appearance is but you should be even more concerned with what is happening beyond what you can't see such as this degeneration that occurs from poor posture and loss of bone mass. Lifting weights is key and lifting with good form is essential.  

Jackie Kold, CPT, RYT, CSST
Many people come to their free assessment concerned that they have let things go for so long they don't even know where to start!  Just know that your body is constantly responsive to lifestyle changes-good and bad. Fitness is possible for everyone who wants it, not just those who are nearly there. No matter how long you've been out of shape, it 's not too late! It takes a long time to get out of shape, but you can safely get fit in a fraction of the time with the proper guidance.  Whether you want my instruction with personal training, to achieve the overall benefits of yoga and weight training with Yoga Sculpt, or to take a regular yoga class, need a jumpstart like my boot camp boot camp or seek meditative stress relief and improved focus, I'm here to help
