The discussion dives deep into osteoporosis and osteopenia, offering invaluable insights into building and maintaining bone density through resistance training, starting as early as your 20s and 30s.

Connect with Amy:

Even as your aches and pains of age can start to creep in, Amy helps women over50 get moving through online workouts and specialized programs designed for just what we need-strength, low impact cardio, Pilates, balance, posture and more.

That way, you can “be healthy...enough” to do all the things you love to do in life! After retiring from a 26-year career as an Engineering Program Manager, Amy carved out a space in her life to pursue a greater passion for helping others. She knows that it takes time and effort to be healthy without aggravating the aches and pains that naturally come with age. She pursued extended education to focus specifically on what women over 50 struggle with including a certification in Integrative Nutrition, Menopause, Arthritis and Osteoporosis Fitness, Myofascial Release using the MELT Method, Corrective Exercise with The Biomechanics Method and has just completed an intense Pelvis Pro course with Dr Sarah Duvall.
