Your Path to Stronger Bones

The goal of this resource is to emphasize the importance of maintaining optimal bone mineral density for overall health and well-being. There is a comprehensive 12-week training program for those who don’t currently have a fitness program or are not currently physically active. Supplemental exercises are also provided for those who already obtain a fitness program. These resources are tailored to suit your fitness level, ensuring you can effectively build up your bone strength while keeping physically active at the recommended level.

Background

  • Sedentary behavior has the most extrinsic control on bone deterioration

  • Bones have a minimum effective strain (MES) threshold that regulates the process of bone resorption and growth

  • Resistance or high impact training are the most effective in maintaining bone mineral density

  • The Osteoporosis Foundation recommends skeletal loading exercises for 30 minutes 5-7 days a week
