Good morning to everybody. I got good informations to you all. Those who don’t have strong bones, you may read this and try to do some exercise.
Exercise plays an important role in building bone in childhood and adolescence, maintaining bone before 50, and slowing down bone loss after 50. But exercises are not equal.
The best exercises are those with impact (running, sprinting, jumping) or resistance (squats, pushups, rock climbing).
Current research indicates that non-weight bearing exercise like cycling and swimming and light impact exercise like slow walking are not enough.
Yoga and Pilates
There are not many yoga or Pilates bone density studies. However, knowing that resistance exercise is effective, we can logically assume that some aspects of yoga and Pilates are beneficial.
Standing yoga poses, like the warrior and transitional lunges, can build leg and hip bones. One-legged poses, like tree, improve balance. Poses like reverse plank and upward and downward dog should strengthen wrist and forearm bones.
All yoga and Pilates exercises that require lifting of the legs or upper torso in the supine or prone (face up and face down) positions may build bone density in the lumbar spine.
Pilates machines that use the resistance of springs are similar to gym machines using cables.
