Seizing the Day and Osteoporosis

I came across this great article about a woman who made her bodybuilding debut at the age of 57. 

When she reached her early 50s, Bonnie Ave had a bone-density test done. At 56, she had a follow-up test, which revealed she was at risk for osteoporosis.

One solution? Begin regular weight training.

“My doctor said my numbers were not good,” Ave recalled. “So I decided to go into bodybuilding.”Now, I’m not about to tell you that you need to start bodybuilding. But I think planning for your future and try to prevent things like osteoporosis is a great idea.

Obviously, I think it’s a good idea to take calcium and other supplements that help your body. But what I’d like to know is, how can you start preparing for your future, now? Are there supplements that might help you? Can you add a walk during your breaks at work? If you’re a couch potato, what will help you get off the couch?

How can you seize the day?
