Great Bone Density Activities For Osteoporosis

 
 

One of the best things you can do for your bones is to encourage good bone density growth. By the time the average person has reached the age of 35 their bones will have grown to become as dense as they will in their entire lifetime. This is why good bone health is so important starting early in life. However, many people don’t give their bones a second thought, and many of them develop Osteoporosis. If you fall into this category there are still a few things you can do to help improve your bone density. Here are some great bone density activities for anyone with Osteoporosis.

Note: If you currently are diagnosed with Osteoporosis consult with your doctor before beginning any exercise program or starting any activities such as the ones listed below. Because your bones are already weak and brittle there is a chance that you could damage or break them by doing these activities. If you do not have Osteoporosis you should be ok to partake in any of these activities.

The following activities will stimulate the osteoblasts located in your bones to produce new bones. Osteoblasts are the cells inside your bones that make new bone so keeping them active is the key to good bone density.

Aerobics/Step aerobics (Home tape or in a group setting)
Cycling (Depending on your age you may want to do stationary cycling to prevent falls or other accidents that may occur if you did outdoor cycling)
Dancing (Any type of dancing will work. Go at your own pace, and take breaks when you feel you need to.)
Gardening
Gymnastics
Jogging (If you don’t have good balance you should probably stick to a treadmill type of jogging routine.)
Rope jumping/Jumping jacks
Tennis
Stair climbing/Stair descending
Walking (If you are unsteady on your feet your doctor may recommend that you used an indoor treadmill. If you want to have the outdoors experience you can place the treadmill outdoors.)
Weight lifting (Never start any weightlifting program or increase a current one without first consulting your doctor to make sure this activity is ok for you do.)

You may already be doing some of these activities or maybe you used to do them at one point in your life. In either event participating in them will help you with building good bone density. No matter which activities you are participating in, or choose to participate in, it’s important to not overdue it. Alternating between different activities is also a great idea.

Because different activities tend to put stress on different parts of your body, when you alternate between these activities you will be helping different bones in your body. Switching off between these activities every two weeks or so will help stimulate the production of osteoblasts. Again, be sure to consult with your doctor to make sure that any activities or combination of activities are appropriate for you and your medical condition.
