Regine's Exercise Program to Reduce Risk of Vertebral Fractures

Osteoporosis was always at the back of my mind but when I hit the bump on the toboggan I knew I hurt myself bad. The pain was incredible! Worse than any labor pain. My hospital visit resulted in strong medication and a discharge home.

The next two days I could do nothing on my own, even with the pain medication, I needed my husband to help me turn in bed.  He got me back to the hospital.

An x-ray showed a compressed fractured vertebra in my low back.  It was not the first fractured bone I had suffered but definitely the most painful!   I thought if this happened at 48 years of age, I would be in trouble if I did not change the path I was going down.

Once I had kids and was teaching full-time, life got in the way.  I love to swim but knew I had to do something more than swimming to build my bones.

Using the MelioGuide Exercise for Better Bones Program, I have built up my strength and my balance. I now supplement my swimming with Nordic walking and regular strength training.

I want to keep up with my husband and kids for many years to come.  I highly recommend the MelioGuide Exercise for Better Bones Program to anyone looking to build bone with only positive side effects!
