Breaking a bone is one of the top fears of people over 40.
But we can build stronger bodies, including stronger bones,
through regular exercise, especially strength training. When you
lift weights, the muscles pull on your bones — and that stress
tells your body to build more bone tissue. Over time, that
stimulus helps bones become denser and less likely to break.
This is particularly important for women, since menopause
accelerates bone loss. Half of women and a fifth of men over 50
will suffer a fracture due to osteoporosis, which causes more
than 2 million breaks every year in the U.S.
Personal training at Alloy offsets those losses and keeps your
bones healthy.
Strength training also improves balance and coordination,
lowering the risk of falls. That’s why we recommend lifting
weights two or three times a week, focusing on all the major
muscle groups with safe, progressive resistance.
Join our “Skeleton Crew” to stay strong, steady, and unbreakable.

Ingredients:
PUMPKIN BREAD
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 2 large organic eggs
• 1/2 TBSP vanilla
• 2 1/3 cups almond flour
• 1/3 cup tapioca flour
• 1 TBSP pumpkin pie spice • 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 TBSP milk
CINNAMON STREUSEL TOPPING
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 3 TBSP coconut sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice • pinch of salt
• 3 TBSP coconut oil, chilled (or plant-based butter)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Line an 8x4 medium loaf pan with
parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree and maple syrup,
then eggs and vanilla until smooth.
3. Add almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda and salt, using
large silicone spatula or spoon to combine.
4. Make streusel topping (optional): Use fork to combine almond
flour, sugar, spice, salt and coconut oil or butter until
meal-like texture forms. Portion out coconut oil into six, ½
tablespoons, chilling before combining.
5. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, covering with streusel if
using and bake for 20 minutes uncovered, then add foil for the
last 20-25 minutes, to prevent the top from browning too quickly.
