Women begin to experience a 4% to 6% rate of bone density loss during the five years following menopause. Weight bearing exercise is one of the key components in counteracting this disorder - a weight bearing exercise is one that puts a weight load on the bones, such as running, aerobics, walking and running. Cycling and swimming, two popular forms of exercise, are not weight bearing and don’t qualify. 30 minutes must be committed to exercising 5 days per week to maximize the benefits obtained from an exercise regimen. Finding a training partner who has similar fitness objectives may help to keep you motivated, because people who work out with someone else have a much greater chance of sticking with their exercise program.
Regular exercise not only makes bones stronger and diminishes bone loss, it helps to relieve stress, and improves your overall health so you can enjoy an active lifestyle for many years to come.
