Building Muscles Strengthens Bones!

It is well known that exercise can prevent fractures, but few know that building muscles can strengthen bones. Bone mass peaks in our 30s. Thereafter, most of us begin to lose bone mass without regular exercise. Moreover, physical activity alone may be insufficient to increase overall bone mass.

Bone density may increase by 1-2% in adulthood, but this increase only occurs under stress from a heavy load.

Bones, like muscles, are living tissues that respond to exercise by becoming stronger. There is much correlation between bones and muscles. Bones are connected to skeletal muscles, and muscles tug on bones during movement and exercise. As muscles get stronger and bigger, the bone responds to the stronger physical tug by getting stronger and bigger too.

Muscle strengthening and weight-bearing exercises can improve muscle mass. Muscle strengthening exercises include exercise bands and weightlifting. They enable muscle tendons to pull on the bones. The body then responds by building bone density, resulting in stronger bones. On the other hand, weight-bearing exercises include things like stair climbing and brisk walking. The body also responds to these exercises by increasing your bone density. 12-20 minutes of such exercises thrice weekly will help to increase your bone density.
