10 Exercises For Bone Health By rjoachim | July 29, 2022 During strength-training activities, resistance is added to movement in order to make muscles work harder and, over time, become stronger. Although resistance exercises focus on increasing muscle mass, they also put stress on bones and have bone-building capacity.Common types of strength training include weight machines, free weights, and exercises (such as push-ups) that use your own body weight. Elastic bands can also be used to add resistance to exercises.A general guideline for strength training is to exercise each major muscle group at least twice a week. Be sure to rest for a full day between strength sessions. https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/staying-healthy/exercise-and-bone-health Posted in Exercise & Fitness
