Strong Muscles, Strong Bones
May 15, 2008 12:20 pm UncategorizedExercise in any form - mild, moderate or intense - is good for you and can help reduce the risk of disease and keep the heart healthy.
When it comes to strengthening bones, milder forms of activity may not be enough. It’s always been said that the best exercise for increasing bone strength was some kind of weight bearing activity - such as walking, running, or skiing. We now know that lifting weights and building muscle is another way to help build strong bones.
Neither overall aerobic fitness, or mild physical activity has a significant effect on bone density. Greater muscle strength, however, is associated with stronger bones.
Stronger bones keeps us from breaking our bones, and reduces the chances of being diagnosed with diseases like osteoporosis as we age.
Dramatic increases in strength is being reported in a large majority of people taking the supplement Stemulite.
