Hoping everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend!
This weekend was a fun and busy weekend for me. My family completely spoiled me for Mother’s Day and I completed a fantastic course offered by Osteoporosis Canada. I am now a “Bone Fit” Trainer!!
Bone Fit™ is an evidence-informed exercise training course, designed for healthcare professionals and exercise practitioners to provide training on the most appropriate, safe and effective methods to prescribe and progress exercise for people with osteoporosis.
I was happy to learn that the Fit for Life program falls with in the exercise guidelines as outlined by the Osteoporosis Exercise Action Plan with progressive resistance training and our focus is Functional Training to make Activities of Daily Living easier.
I have also learned lots of fantastic cues to help ensure proper alignment of our spines and some fantastic accessory exercises that I will be building into the classes.
Here is our workout for today (sorry I am so late posting this!):
Strength Focus
Hip Hinge 3 sets of 5 with empty bar or PVC
