- Postmenopausal Women-Resistance Training Increases Bone Mass.
- Even though walking and other weight-bearing aerobic type exercise is effective in slowing bone loss, progressive strength training has been proven to increase bone density at the intertrochanter hip site.
- It is recommended as an additional approach to preventing osteoporosis in combination with other treatments, in postmenopausal women. [Journal of Bone & Mineral Research, 2001]

Pregnancy Cycle
- A safe a secure way to keep up your health and fitness during your pregnancy, without running the risk of damaging your body or your baby.
- Unlike running and other sports exercises that help keep you fit, but can damage the muscles supporting your growing child, cycling will help support your body, while still giving you the workout you need!
- These classes help expecting mothers to develop awareness of their pelvic floor and strengthen and support their lower back.
- The classes also focus on shoulder stability and upper extremity strength, as well as general fitness and flexibility.
- Regular exercise during pregnancy is recommended to maintain strength and energy, prevent pain and swelling, improve sleep and help with a quicker recovery after childbirth.
- While the entire body goes through many physical changes, one of the greatest and most obvious changes is the expansion of the abdominals to make room for the baby to grow.
- Your pelvic floor will also stretch with the weight of the baby during pregnancy and stretch during childbirth.
- While your muscles stretch around your core and pelvis, they can also become very weak and lead to low back pain and pelvic joint pain during and after childbirth, an increase in pain during labour and a slower recovery after childbirth.
