OsteoStrength
Pilates and Functional Strength Training for Healthy Bones
According to the Royal Osteoporosis Society, more than half of women and one in five men over the age of 50 will suffer fractures due to osteoporosis. However, these risks can be reduced through a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Weight-bearing, resistance, and impact exercises are especially effective in building stronger bones. Follow along with Sophie and take a proactive step toward improving your bone health.

Notes from Sophie
There's no set schedule to follow with this pathway, I have literally picked out 45 classes from the Pilates Library that will help to maintain and build your bone density. This includes classes that will place both resistance and impact on your musculoskeletal system, which means it's quite an eclectic pathway of classes. I would suggest moving through the pathway in the order I have set out, however I appreciate you might not have equipment at home, so for every equipment based class, the next class I suggest has a similar focus but without equipment (or instead we will use a household object like a t-towel or chair), and for every high impact cardio class the next class offered will be a low impact version so you will always have an alternative class.
Have fun with it!
Sophie :)
