Is it no wonder why 33 year old me is a HUGE proponent for HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)?
Stronger bones may literally be just a hop, skip, and a jump away, according to a new study published in Osteoporosis International.
Researchers examined the recreational physical activity levels of
1,061 25-year-old women in Sweden and found that regular, high-impact
exercise increased their bone mineral density (BMD).
Around women’s 30th birthdays, their bones start to become thinner.
Existing bones break down faster than new bones are made, leaving them
weaker and more prone to breaks.
So what qualifies as high-impact exercise? Running, plyometrics
exercises, jumping jacks, jumping rope, or anything that involves both
of your feet being off of the ground at the same time. You’ll score a
serious cardio burn and help strengthen your bones.
