With aging comes a number of changes—from shifts in muscle mass and hormones to changes in sleep and bone health. Bone density naturally begins to decline around age 35, but there’s plenty you can do to support strong, healthy bones at every stage of life.

Your body—and bones!—need the right fuel to thrive. Bones are made up of a mix of calcium and other nutrients (in fact, 99 percent of your body’s calcium is stored in your bones!). That makes a nutrient-rich diet a vital part of supporting bone health.
Use the nutrition cheat sheet included in this program to help you choose calcium-rich foods and build bone-friendly meals. Fill in your workout charts as you complete each session. As the weeks go by, pay attention to how the exercises feel, and choose more challenging weights and exercises when you’re ready—and watch your strength, balance, and power all improve.
