As women move past 50, bone health becomes one of the most important — yet often overlooked — aspects of aging. After menopause, declining estrogen can make bones weaker, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. But this does NOT have to be your future.
In this video, we explain in simple, science-based terms why bone loss happens after 50 and how strength training can help protect your skeleton, improve balance, and reduce your risk of falls. You’ll also learn 3 powerful, beginner-friendly strength exercises — squats, overhead presses, and hip hinges — that specifically target the hips, spine, and legs, the areas most vulnerable to bone loss.
You don’t need heavy weights or a gym. These movements can be done at home with light dumbbells or even just your body weight.
💡 What you’ll learn in this video:
• Why bone health declines after 50
• How strength training strengthens bones (Wolff’s Law)
• Why walking alone isn’t enough
• Step-by-step guidance for 3 bone-strengthening exercises
