Osteoporosis is a pediatric problem with geriatric consequences. That’s the line that got my attention. Taking care of your bones health begins as your bones are forming. On this week’s Health Show, we’ll talk to program director of the Bone Diseases Program at the Department of Health And Human Services about the Best Bones Forever program. Then we’ll talk to a couple of fitness instructors about two methods of staying in shape that get you off the bike and treadmill and into routines that will work muscles you didn’t know you had.

Staying Fit - Unusually 1
Staying active and physically fit is important for women of any age group, from teens just developing their bones to home makers and professional women who are more than a few years removed from high school. But staying with an exercise program can be tough, especially if you get a bit bored with the treadmill or the stationary bike. That’s why we invited a pair of fitness instructors to join us today who teach unusual methods of staying fit that may keep your interest. Nuhar Jaleel is a Pilates instructor and physical therapist in Latham, NY. Meighan Carivan Esmond is a Certified NIA Instructor in Albany, NY. And, full disclosure, Dr. Nina Sax takes classes with both of these women. So, we should probably start with you Meighan and find out about NIA.
