In the July/August issue of Pilates Style, fitness editor Elizabeth Larkam tells us how to modify Pilates practice for osteoporosis and osteopenia. The National Osteoporosis Foundation gives us some practical tips for maintaining good bone health throughout the years:

1. Get enough vitamin D and
    calcium
2. Engage in weight-bearing
    exercise regularly.
3. Give up smoking and
    excessive drinking.
4. Talk to your doctor about
    bone health.
5. Have a bone density test and
    take medication if
    appropriate.
