Day One of the rest of my life !

Morning all! At 44 bones were beginning to make me feel 88! Feeling down in the dumps and useless. Now I have just done day one ! Was not as bad as I thought . So pleased with my self. Gotta keep fit for the kids. They say for women our bones deteriorate much more rapidly than men’s. Due to oestrogen / hormones or something ... is this right? can’t let that happen - make the most of life. 🏃🏼‍♀️

Well done for starting! We women draw the short straw when it comes to aging, so you’re doing the right thing. 😊

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Running, because of the impact, is the best known way of maintaining bone strength, regardless of gender.

Enjoy your journey

We may age more but I’ve seen plenty of octogenarians running so I’m aiming to be like them in my old age!
