showing that they increased bone mineral density.
However, no studies have definitely shown that
higher density actually reduces bone fractures.”

“Weight-bearing exercise does not mean using weights or resistance training,
but carrying your body weight in a weight-bearing fashion. You want to build bone density?
Get your hips over your ankles and your torso over your hips. And then walk around a lot.
Walking in alignment is the most natural osteogenic (bone-building) thing you can do!”
— Katy Bowman, MS
“Activities that involve impacts with the earth, such as running and jumping,
are the most effective way to improve bone health.”
