As we age, we lose bone density. It mostly occurs in women (osteoporosis) but men are affected as well. To preserve your bone and overall general health, here are some ideas for exercise activities that build bone.<\/p>\nAs we age, we lose bone density. It mostly occurs in women (osteoporosis) but men are affected as well. To preserve your bone and overall general health, here are some ideas for exercise activities that build bone.<\/p>\n
It bears being said that besides exercise, nutrition is also important. Getting the proper daily intake of calcium for your age group will help maintain your bone health.<\/p>\n
When there is not enough calcium coming into the body, the cells will rob it from the bones to perform their daily maintenance. Combining both is probably the best way to combat bone loss.<\/p>\n
Cardiovascular Exercise<\/strong><\/p>\n To gain more bone, you have to use them. Weight-bearing exercises that have a high impact are actually good for building bone. As with any exercise, start slow and build up to a manageable level. Here are some suggestions:<\/p>\n * Walking \u2013 This is a good overall exercise that can be done at any age. You can start right now. Walking on a treadmill either flat or uphill programs build up the muscles of the legs as well as the bones.<\/p>\n * Aerobics \u2013 This refers to aerobics classes. Now step aerobics may be challenging for someone of advanced age, but simply doing jumps on the floor, jogging in place and walking routines all put pressure on the bones to help you build them up.<\/p>\n * Jogging \u2013 Jogging is better than running for women but both can be done in moderation for bone building results. Men can benefit even more from jogging and\/or running.<\/p>\n Intramural Sports<\/strong><\/p>\n There are many benefits to exercising in a group setting. You gain motivation from those around you and you have fun at the same time. It doesn\u2019t seem much like exercise at all. Team sports that also involve some sort of impact are great for building and\/or maintaining bone health.<\/p>\n * Basketball \u2013 There are leagues for all ages. Running up and down the court and jumping for baskets gives the most emphasis on your leg muscles and bones.<\/p>\n * Volleyball \u2013 You use your arms and your legs for power. Your entire bone structure gets a workout too.<\/p>\n * Tennis \u2013 If you\u2019ve ever played tennis before, you know that you are starting and stopping a lot. Hitting the ball requires power in your arms.<\/p>\n * Dancing \u2013 Try some dances with stomp appeal like square dancing, line dancing and folk dancing.<\/p>\n Recreational Activities<\/strong><\/p>\n You can build your bone right around your home. Try gardening. Plowing, hoeing, planting and hauling all work the muscles and bones.<\/p>\n There is a lot that you can do to build up your bones. As you age, don\u2019t accept that bone will be lost; do what you can to preserve it with the above suggestions for activities.<\/p>\n Related Natural Product<\/strong><\/p>\n Xtend-Life<\/a>\u00a0Bone-Support<\/a>\u00a0is a highly advanced formula containing 11 specific active ingredients to help strengthen and protect your skeletal system, for improved posture, mobility, strength, reduced pain, and reduced risk of degenerative disease.
