Increase Your Bone Health!!

Every day we have patients saying that they want to increase their bone strength or that they were previously diagnosed with osteoporosis. Here are some basic steps to increase your bone strength and density…..

Resistance Training:

Resistance training is the best type of exercise to increase your bone health. Easy ways to do resistance training include water aerobics, lifting light weights and practicing yoga. 

Research shows that resistance training not only increases your bone health but also helps to increase your brain activity and your memory.

Here in The Villages, we are surrounded with pools, gyms and yoga classes. Please look at the Thursday recreation center news insert to determine a location or class near you.
