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
