Did you know that there are simple habits, posture strategies, and exercises that can protect your bones for life? In this episode, I’m joined by Penny Shure, an osteoporosis exercise specialist and creator of the Million Dollar Bones program and book, to share practical habits for stronger bones at any age. Penny has trained in Pilates and dance and brings a fun, engaging approach to movement that works for everyone–from teens to grandparents.
Penny also teaches the importance of neutral pelvis, hip hinging, and posture to prevent fractures and maintain mobility. She walks through simple exercises for wrists, hips, and toes that can be integrated into your daily routine to improve balance and bone strength.
You’ll understand how small, consistent changes can compound over time to protect your bones, enhance mobility, and set your family up for long-term bone health.
“Younger generations deserve to know that they have the power to prevent this disease (osteoporosis).”
