I improved my bone density with 20 Minutes to Fitness: Joyce’s story September 14, 2020 • Mary BufeBy adding a special back exercise to her 20 Minutes to Fitness routine, Joyce increased her spinal bone density by 9 points in less than a year.Joyce Wright began training at 20 Minutes to Fitness in Chesterfield in 2010 with two goals in mind: (1) to increase her overall fitness level and (2) to improve her bone density. Here is her story:“I have been receiving Prolia injections for osteoporosis in my spin and hips from 2008 to the present. I get a bone scan each year. Since taking Prolia, my bone density increased slightly each year — until 2018, when it stayed the same. “I explained this to Casey, my trainer at 20 MTF, and she added a back exercise to my weekly workout. At my yearly bone scan in 2019, the bone density in my spine increased by 9 points. “Since I made no other changes in calcium, vitamin D3 or other medications or exercise routines, I attribute this gain to 20 MTF — and the added back exercise in particular. “My doctor was very pleased and said to keep doing whatever I had been doing, which means continuing Prolia and 20 MTF. She (my doctor) added very positive comments about 20 MTF.”—Are you over 50 and at risk of osteoporosis? If so, please let us help.
