Fact! According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation most women over the age of 45 fail to recognize their personal risk for developing osteoporosis, the disease of "porous bones," even though the majority of women have at least two risk factors for the disease by this age.

Fact! Conflicting results of several major studies and recommendations by the US Preventive Services Task Force have put into question the benefits of supplements containing calcium to prevent bone loss.

Fact! What do experts draw from this controversy?

• First, that better studies are needed to clarify the possible risks and benefits of calcium supplements and to whom they may apply.
• Secondly, that the safest and most effective source of calcium is found in food choices, not supplements.
• And finally that exercise is key to bone health, specifically weight bearing and strength training exercises.

Join us live on Sirius XM's Dr. Radio Show this Wednesday, June 19 from 8-9 am. I'll share all the insider tips that I've learned over the past 25 years as a fitness professional and address questions such as:

• What are the major risk factors for osteoporosis?
• What is the difference between weight-bearing and weight-training exercise?
• How can you work these exercises into your lifestyle, no matter what your fitness level?
• What kind of exercise is safe if you've been diagnosed with osteoporosis?

One of the highlights of the Dr. Radio interview on 1.16.13 was a discussion about what you can realistically expect from doing small doses of exercise. The fact is that you can have a dramatic impact on your health and appearance by being consistent and doing "a little bit a lot."

Take, for example, the "4 for Life" exercises. Together these four exercises create a mini full-body conditioning workout that can be done in a few minutes, anytime, anywhere, using just your own body weight. Use them as the building blocks of your program and the baseline to which you return if you are short of time. When life becomes hectic, they are the ideal "active rest" from your full program.

These functional four exercises work the major muscle groups of the legs, upper body and core in
an integrated way, the way you move in life:

• The Squat works the large muscles of the legs and is the most functional of all exercises.
• The Push-Up targets the chest, shoulder and triceps in one move.
• The Back Extension is a primary exercise for good posture since it strengthens and lengthens the muscles that run the length of your spine.
• The Pelvic Tilt flattens the belly, strengthens the abdomen and stretches the low back.

Check them out here and don't wait another day to kick start your exercise program for the New Year.

Just in time to get your head around your workout plan for the New Year! Take advantage of this opportunity to ask me anything you want about your exercise routine.

Call in with your questions and comments to 877-NYU-DOCS this Wednesday, January 16 from 8-9 am ET when I appear live on Sirius XM's Dr. Radio show.

I'll share all the insider tips that I've learned over the past 25 years as a fitness professional and answer questions such as:

• How do you define your goals in an exercise program?
• How much exercise do you have to do to reach your goals?
• What results can you realistically expect within 8-12 weeks?
• What can you do about post-holiday weight gain and belly fat?
• Are you having trouble getting back on track?
