I'm a few weeks shy of 77, returned to 'serious' (though not competitve) road biking in 2023, love climbing the hills (I CAN climb!) around where I live now. Admitting that I'm curious about my skeletal endurance and potential for damage should I crash, I'd really like to have some idea whether my bones are more prone to being broken in minor stuff should that occur.
Inquired of my health provider what a DEXA scan would cost me out of pocket. Got quoted $600.
Good thing they don't do VO2Max, eh?
(I've had one of those four electrode scales for close to a decade. Doesn't tell me much that I can put a value on, other than weight. I have to remind myself I need to be barefoot if I want more than just weight....)
