The best type of exercise for bone health is dynamic loading which involves high intensity movement while bearing weight. This causes stress on the bone, increasing bone strength. Exercises for increasing bone health should also be done in short repetitions. Over time, the process of bone strengthening will diminish if the intensity is low. Short vigorous exercises will be the most beneficial for improving bone health.

1. A Sedentary Lifestyle May Contribute to
Osteoporosis
A sedentary (low activity) lifestyle can contribute to overall poor bone health and
increase the risk of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition which is characterized with
a very low bone density. This lack of density could lead to bone fractures and can be
detrimental to your mobility. Just like your muscles, your bones are a tissue which can
become stronger or weaker over time. Physical activity that is weight-bearing increases
bone mass and density. Lack of activity prevents this process from occurring and
increases the aging process of the bone.
