 I recently read this article through the NPR app on my phone. The overall takeaway is that the risk is still safer than being sedentary. I totally agree! However, while I think it is awesome that they are doing the research and finding the correlations between who is likely to get a fracture and how it may impact their lives…… I completely disagree with their advice. “recognize the limits of your strength, he advises, and maybe work on training the dog not to pull on the leash.” What????? I mean, yes- train your dog, but recognize the limits of your strength? How about any or all of the following: - improve your balance - focus on fall prevention - roll out your feet and do some exercises to improve awareness in your feet - learn how to safely increase strength and mobility I could go on and on, but you get the drift. Balance is a skill. It gets better with practice. You can improve your bone density, strength, and gait. How? Pilates! Want to know more?
