Exercise, especially resistance training, is good for your bones 🦴

Want to learn how you can increase bone density, even after menopause? Yes, really! 🎉 ⬇️

💬 Comment “BONES” below 💬 ⁠
⁠..and I’ll DM you access to our FREE Menopause & Bone Density Cheat Sheet.⁠

Your bones are the living foundation of strength—but they need your support to stay healthy.

Here’s why it matters:⁠

➡️ Before 35: Strengthening your bones early sets you up with a higher “peak bone density,” giving you more to work with as you age.⁠

➡️ 40s Onward: Women lose about 0.5% of bone density (BD) every year.

➡️ Menopause: BD loss accelerates to 4.4% in just a few years—raising risks for:

🚫 Osteopenia: weaker bones
🚫 Osteoporosis: brittle, fracture-prone bones⁠

But with the right strategies, you can:

✨ Slow bone loss.
✨ Strengthen your bones post-menopause.
✨ Lower injury risks for a vibrant, active life at ANY age.⁠

This Cheat Sheet has the 3 Key Pillars of Bone Health:⁠

🦵 Exercise: The most effective strength training & impact activities.
🥗 Nutrition: What to eat (and avoid!) for bone health.
🌱 Lifestyle: Easy ways to protect your bones long-term.⁠
