Here are real women's stories that inspire me to not let osteoporosis slow me
down. Each month, I will feature a new Bone Diva who I hope will encourage you
to make the promise for better bone health, like we did.
March 2007 Bone Diva:
Sue Robinson-Abramowitz
"Instead of thinking you're fragile, you should work with your doctor to develop an exercise routine that helps you build strength and stay healthy." - Sue Robinson-Abramowitz, Indio, CA
Sue works out in her home with one-pound weights and an exercise video. And after years of country dancing, Sue and her husband enrolled in a ballroom dancing class
April 2007 Bone Diva:
Claudia Van Dyke
"Helping families come together and doing everything I can to stay active... Now that's a good day" - Claudia Van Dyke, Ashland, OR
Claudia walks everyday on the trails near her home and this year she helped her friend train to walk the San Francisco Marathon.
May 2007 Bone Diva: Anita Greenstein
"We keep each other up-to-date. Family support really matters when you're trying to stay healthy." - Anita Greenstein, Fort Pierce, FL
Anita found the key to her healthy lifestyle was embracing her love of the outdoors, with activities like water sports and walking barefoot on the beach.
August 2007 Bone Diva: Dana Happel
"Life doesn't have to get worse as you age. A good attitude goes a long way." - Dana Happel, Chambersburg, PA
The wonderful feeling Dana got from her yoga classes encouraged her to teach yoga to other women who are trying to keep their bones strong.
