Strong Bones, Steady Body (VIP)

After 40, and especially around menopause, bone density can drop faster and muscle naturally declines, which affects balance, energy and independence. The good news: gentle, regular movement helps protect both. This guide explains what's changing in your body in plain language, then walks you through simple strength exercises and Pilates you can do at home, with no gym and no experience needed. A calm, steady plan to follow alongside your doctor's care, one step at a time.
