BONE HEALTH AS WE AGE
Bone is an active tissue that makes up our skeletal system. It provides numerous functions, but as we age, our bones get less dense. Our peak bone density typically occurs in early adulthood, but it drops off after menopause in women and after age 70 in men.
Healthy bones mean fewer fractures as we get older and help maintain our mobility. So, how do we maintain our bone health as we age? Let’s look at what you can do to keep your bones strong.
SHEET PAN ZUCCHINI, TOMATOES, & FETA

PFP Dadfit is less about building 6-pack abs and more about building a pack of 6 dads committed to bettering themselves together. The strength of the dad is in the pack. The strength of our pack is in each individual dad. Let's grow in fatherhood together.

Proprioception is the ability to sense where your body is in space. It involves position, movement, and balance. Today, I’m going to focus on balance and why that skill gets more important as we age.

STRENGTH TRAINING & NUTRITION FOR WOMEN IN PERI & POST MENOPAUSE
Research shows that the perimenopausal years (typically in your late 30s to early 50s) are the years with the most pronounced shifts in body composition: increased fat mass, reduced muscle mass, and elevated abdominal. As if we needed any more barriers, most research in health and fitness is done on men. Let’s dive into what research on women of this age group recommends.
PINEAPPLE CUCUMBER SALAD
This is a quick summer salad from Mom on Timeout. We made this on a weeknight for a quick meal. Serve as a main course if you are vegetarian, or as a side with a protein.
TRAINING FOR YOUR GOALS
It’s crucial to be clear about your goals, as this helps your coach understand you better. If you’re interested in building strength, modifying your body composition, or simply wanting to make it through the day more easily, it’s helpful for us to know, as that will give us direction for what should be included in your training program.
