Starting in our 40s, our estrogen and testosterone begin to drop, causing a loss of muscle, bone, and metabolic efficiency. If this goes on, we will begin to put on body fat and increase our risk of fracture. The hip joint, particularly in the femoral neck and greater trochanter, shoulder, lower back, and feet are all areas that are affected the most due to lack of force and motion.
In this workout, we will practice twelve foundational resistance training exercises to help strengthen our endocrine system and stimulate new bone growth. We will perform each exercise for two sets of 8-15 repetitions. A chair, dumbbells, and thigh band will be incorporated throughout.
