'Walking is good, but it is not enough if you are prone to suffer from osteoporosis. I know this as a nurse and from my personal experience - my own mother is now laying in the hospital after falling over and fracturing her hip. I wish the current knowledge had been available back in those days to spare her from this.'

Maria is a 49-year-old nurse. During the day she moves a lot and she also exercises in her free time. She is well aware of the risk of osteoporosis and has taken preventive measures because of the hereditary nature of the disease and her family history. She has used a pedometer while jogging and walking, but wondered if the quality of the exercise was right to prevent bone problems. Maria wanted to know more about the quality of the exercise and is now using a bone exercise monitor, which she wears both in the workplace and in her various activities.

Maria often tells her patients about the osteoporosis risk and explains that it is important to have the bone density measured. The Bone Exercise Monitor Maria has used herself may be a very helpful product in maintaining and improving the bone health. Maria recommends her patients to first consult their physician to make sure that they do not have any risks as far their bones go. She hopes that the advice will help others avoid problems like the ones her mother's is going through.
