Losing Bone Strength As We Age
It’s a fact of nature. As we age, our bodies lose bone strength. Want to help fend off the inevitable? Develop a weight training program. Workouts and sport activities that utilize weight bearing exercises are best. Using dumbbells, soft weighted balls and the dead weighted balls are just a few pieces of equipment that can be easily incorporated into a home gym workout. Even the old fashioned Kettlebell is once again gaining popularity. Weight training, and weight bearing training in particular, may help to combat osteoporitic conditions and keep a stooped posture away. We all lose bone mass starting at age 30 and women are more prone to it. A regular workout schedule will energize you and keep your muscles strong which in turn will keep your bones healthy.
