Did you know 66% of Australians over 50 have low bone density?

Osteoporosis isnโ€™t just an older persons problem. Your 20s and 30s are peak bone-building years! The stronger your bones are now, the better theyโ€™ll be later on

Best exercises for bone health:
โœ… Weight-bearing
โœ… Impact
โœ… Strength
โœ… Balance

Aim for 2-3x per week with progressive overload to see the benefits and keep your bones strong ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

Weโ€™ve been resting & recharging over the last few weeks! Spending some much needed time with the family ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

A break is always nice to clear your mind and reevaluate your goals.

So Iโ€™ve come back with a clear commitment to my health, once again ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

If youโ€™re ready to make the same commitment and need an EP to help. Send me a DM ๐Ÿค

Following a clearance with your GP and physio..

๐ŸŒŸ Listen to your body - pay attention to how your body feels during and after a run. If you experience symptoms of pain, discomfort, heaviness or bleeding, stop and consult your GP and physio

โญ๏ธ Gradually progress - start with a short and easy distance and gradually increase over time

๐ŸŒŸ Focus on nutrition and hydration - your body is still recovering post birth! Proper nutrition is essential, especially if youโ€™re breastfeeding

โญ๏ธ Prioritise sleep and rest - sleep is so important for your bodyโ€™s recovery and chances are youโ€™re not getting enough

Consult an EP to help you with your plan ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
