By 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.”
