Impact and Strength Training Workouts Build Bone Density

Nov. 22, 2013 - PRLog -- Women especially need to pay attention to their bone strength as they age, and exercise is one of the best ways to increase both bone density and overall bone strength. There are two specific forms of exercise that assist in strengthening the bones: weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises are both important to stave off osteoporosis and other illnesses.

A high-impact exercise help build density in the bones for overall strength, and unless an injury is present or a person has been advised to stay away from high-impact workouts, these workouts are the best ways to begin strengthening the skeletal system. Dancing, jogging, jumping rope, tennis, and hiking are all examples of high-impact exercises that will build overall bone density in participants.

But even if a person must avoid high-impact exercises, there are low-impact options that accomplish the same goals. Elliptical trainers, low-impact aerobic classes, stair-step machines and fast-walking are examples of workouts that minimize impact but still impact bone density levels.

Just as important as impact exercises are those that build strength in the muscles of the body. Muscle strength assist in balance, core control, and enhances the density of the bones built during impact workouts. Lifting weights or using resistance bands are excellent forms of strength training for any person, as are yoga poses and tai-chi movements which require the participant to support their own body weight.

If looking for non-impact movements and exercises that can increase bone density, seek out Pilates, yoga, stability ball classes for a non-impact workout that both builds bone density and increases strength. Strong bones make for a strong skeletal system, and being active increases cardiovascular and mental health as well. There’s no limit to what being active can do, so get started on a workout routine today.
