About this session
Osteoporosis develops when bones lose strength and become more likely to fracture. It is often described as a silent condition because it may cause no obvious symptoms until a bone breaks, making awareness of risk factors and appropriate screening especially important.
Bone health is shaped over many years by age, hormonal change, family history, nutrition, physical activity, smoking, alcohol, certain medical conditions and some long-term medicines.
Osteoporosis can affect people of all genders, although risk rises after menopause and with increasing age.
This session helps participants protect bone health without reducing prevention to calcium alone.
They build practical routines involving weight-bearing activity, muscle strengthening, balanced nutrition, fall prevention and healthcare follow-up while recognizing that people with osteoporosis or previous fractures may need individualized exercise and treatment advice.

What’s covered
Build Everyday Habits That Support Bone Health
Every length- Add bone-strengthening movement to your weekParticipants explore weight-bearing activities such as walking, stair climbing, dancing and appropriate higher-impact movement, alongside resistance exercises that challenge muscles and bones.
- Include balance and mobility practiceParticipants identify simple ways to strengthen balance, coordination and lower-body function through suitable exercises or structured activity.
- Build meals that support bone healthParticipants review food sources of calcium, vitamin D, protein and other nutrients involved in maintaining bones and muscles.
- Choose one repeatable bone-health actionParticipants select one manageable action, such as adding two strength sessions, improving calcium-rich food intake, reviewing fall hazards or discussing risk with a clinician.
Identify Risk and Reduce Fracture Hazards
90 minutes and longer- Review your personal risk pictureParticipants consider age, menopause, family history, low body weight, smoking, alcohol, previous fractures and periods of limited mobility.
