The best type of exercise to prevent bone loss? WHEN Q&A

The best type of exercise to prevent bone loss? Short Answer: A combination of progressive resistance training, weight-bearing exercises and balance/mobility training. To improve or maintain bone health, exercise is integral to slowing this decline! Activities that create a ‘loading’ effect on the bone stimulate extra deposits of calcium and nudge bone-forming cells into action. Relatively few loading cycles or repetitions are needed - short bouts separated by periods of rest are most effective. The result is stronger and denser bones!
