Never Too Late To Build Bone Strength!

Nearly 8 million women are affected by osteoporosis. They suffer from deteriorated bone tissue and brittle bones that can break quite easily. But many cases of osteoporosis can be prevented by simple exercise.

As your body ages, your bone density decreases. You can help slow down this bone lose with calcium and vitamin D supplements but you can also build bone strength through exercise.

Unfortunately, many older women stay away from exercise, fearing that it could cause damage to their bones but safe exercise does exactly the opposite.

Strength training not only improves muscle strength, but it also helps increase bone density and prevent fractures.
29% of older people who break a hip die within a year, according to research by the University of Maryland: School of Medicine. For that reason alone, it is imperative that women strength train.

Of course, if you are new to strength training you should consult your doctor as well as a certified personal trainer to make sure your workout is right for you.
