On this episode of Bone Talk, BHOF CEO Claire Gill is joined by fitness expert Carol Michaels. Carol’s exercise programs are designed to be enjoyable, effective and fun. She is passionate about inspiring the best in others and her mission is to help people learn how to live healthy lifestyles. She brings her insight and experience to educating and motivating others to get fit. She even offers free online classes for people impacted by osteoporosis through BHOF via her company Carol Michaels Fitness. 

Bone is living tissue that responds to exercise by becoming stronger. That’s key to stronger bones, especially as we age. Carol understands the importance of a good osteoporosis training regimen and shares information about the courses she’s created. A primary focus is to strengthen every major muscle group with an emphasis on the spine and hips. Balance is also key and a full body approach can provide the best results. Hear her advice for starting where you are now. She outlines several ways you can begin at home, with what you have handy.
