How did I find the time with 4 boys?
It was simple. Right after I had met the kids' needs I met my own. I am not going to say I exercised every day or went to the gym and lifted weights regularly through all my child rearing years. But overall I was pretty consistent and I always lived an active lifestyle with the boys. By this I mean, walking my kids to school, the park and friend's houses. I was always known as the Mom who walked everywhere. In fact some times other Moms felt "sorry" for the boys and would give them a ride home from school. I asked them to please not do that, it was only a 10 minute walk after all. And now I am proud to have 4 active and healthy teenagers.

More on Bones....
Age 25-40 - You are building or stabilizing bone mass throughout your body. Women who exercise regularily during these years doing various forms of weight bearing or loaded exercise have the opportunity to prevent or diminish health risks associated with osteoperosis. This is the time to get started!
Age 40-44 - Bone loss begins, but is slight at this stage
Age 50-54 - First and most dramatic bone loss stage. You lose and average of 1.3% of bone mass every year until you 55 yrs at which point you will have lost approx. 7% of your bone mass.
Age 75 and up - The second major drop in bone density happens now and continues for the rest of your life.
The earlier in life you start your weight routine the more bone mass you can build, and thus the more you can 'afford' to lose later in life. But remember it is never too late to start!
See you at the gym!
