Strength Training After Menopause: Protect Bone Density, Strength and Metabolism
Exercise is one of the most effective ways to build and maintain strong, healthy bones throughout your life, particularly in menopause. It supports bone development, helps maintain bone and muscle strength in adulthood, and improves balance, mobility, and independence as we age.
Studies show that bones become stronger when they are exposed to controlled impact and resistance from muscle contractions. Although all forms of physical activity can benefit your overall health, certain types of exercise are particularly important for improving and maintaining bone density.
