Thanks for those suggestions, I have looked into melioguide and lift more, balancing, onero, and more but have not seen videos…will check it out! The aging thing…I feel that after people hear you are 65 you are treated as if you were either invisible or someone who is so old and decrepit they need many various docs and lots of meds to get through the day! I was shocked at having to “draw the clock” at a checkup; I was gonna be sassy and draw a realistic digital clock radio (I am a bit of an artist)! There is the aging process we all have to deal with as the body wears out (and sometimes in youth) some lose senses, some lose bone health, some have cancer, some have hearts wearing out, the list goes on and on. Then there are preventive measures; for example hubby is diabetic and is on statins only because he is diabetic. And if anyone has info on studies that show why the bone health goal is that of a 30 year old woman let us know! Nothing about me is ever going to be that of a 30 year old woman from my hair color to my wrinkles to my waistline!

@jozer LOL .. yeah, I suppose 30-year-olds are the gold standard to which we all should strive to be!

@jozer I’m not sure the goal is to go back to having the strong bones of a 30-year-old, so much as the goal is to build back lost bone, then maintain it as best we can.

I wish gynecologists would do a lot more to educate women in their 20’s on up about the importance of bone density and how to maintain it from a young age. None of mine ever did. I’m constantly telling my daughters and my friends.

I can only hope they take me seriously.

I have read stories here about women in their 30’s and 40’s (some in their 20’s too) who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, and my heart goes out to them. That’s a long time to deal with this condition.
