Jumping and Bone Density
by Ondine Brooks Kuraoka

—[ up and down ]—

Our bones don’t want to take it easy. Information from the National Osteoporosis Foundation explains that when we place demands on our bones in the form of weight-bearing and resistance exercises, our bodies respond by maintaining crucial bone density. Simply jumping up and down for a few minutes each day can make a difference. Those with osteoporosis should consult a physician on the best forms of impact exercise.
