Deadlifts and squats aren’t just for bodybuilders; they’re medicine for your spine and hips, the most fracture-prone areas. Remember, form first, load second!
BONE FACT: Your skeleton completely rebuilds itself every 10 years. The question is: are you giving it the right building materials and stimulus? #BoneHealth#PhysioTips
A strong but slow muscle may not be enough to catch a fall, dash across the street, or climb stairs before fatigue sets in, but power training can prepare the body for these moments.
Trouble sleeping? Move more.
Research shows just 30+ mins of exercise can boost sleep quality (and sometimes even the data backs it up).

@stevemagness I feel a lot of the online discussion around high intensity / weight training for post-menopausal women is in regards to bone health maintenance. Which from experience working with this demographic definitely needs to be pushed continually.
Why are weighted squats the best exercise for an ageing population?
1) Preserve leg strength
2) Maintain Hip & Knee mobility
3) Build & Maintain bone density
4) Enhance balance & Fall prevention
5) they’re a confidence booster
They make a person Robust & Resilient!!

Men who smoke are 32% more likely to have a lumbar fracture and 40% in the hip.
Women who smoke are 13% more likely to have a lumbar fracture and 31% at the hip.
