This is a very interesting study. Keep in mind that the study was cunducted with only 10 people over a short period of time, so technically it really isn’t long or broad enough. The findings are so staggering, however, I really felt I had to share it with you all. Check it out…… and get some rest!!

Home-Based Exercises May Protect High-Risk Elderly Women From Hip Fractures
Laurie Barclay, MD
September 27, 2010 —Home-based exercises may protect high-risk elderly women from hip fractures, according to the results of a population-based, randomized controlled exercise trial reported in the September 27 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
"Long-term evidence from randomized trials of the effectiveness of exercise in preventing disability and fall-related fractures in elderly people has been lacking," write Raija Korpelainen, PhD, from University of Oulo in Oulo, Finland, and colleagues. "Fall-related fractures are associated with long-term pain, functional impairment, and increased risks of institutionalization and death in elderly women. Hip fractures place the greatest demands on resources and have the greatest effect on patients because they are associated with high mortality rates and increased morbidity."

Like many brides before me, I worked hard to look good on my wedding day. Unfortunately, also like many brides before me, I let it all fall apart after the wedding. In the span of two years I’d gained 29 pounds and 3 pant sizes! I had the usual excuses: lack of time, knowledge, energy, etc. And even though I tried several times to reverse my rapidly deteriorating physique, nothing seemed to work- which just frustrated me to the point of failure with each attempt. Finally, a friend at the gym referred me to Paul- and I owe her big time!
