Fitness trainer Karen Brownlee and gerontologist Sally Duplantier team up to explore two diseases associated with aging: osteoporosis and arthritis. Through discussion and demonstration, Karen and Sally will show the powerful, positive effect that balance can have on both diseases.

Walk away with safe, practical balance exercises you can do every day.
