What Is A Weight-Bearing Exercise Program?

A Weight-Bearing Fitness Program is one that utilizes exercises that require one to move against gravity while staying upright.

These exercises force your muscles and bones to work harder, thus promoting increased muscle strength and bone density in the process.

Why Do We Need Weight-Bearing Exercises?

As we age, our bones naturally become weaker and more prone to osteoporosis. This in turn may lead to an increased risk of bone injuries, fractures and even loss of independence down the road.

Also, as a result of natural aging processes and our lifestyle choices, many of us tend to lose a large percentage of our lean muscle mass down the years - a condition known as sarcopenia. With it, comes a loss of strength and mobility, as well as a greater risk of falls and physical trauma to the body.

As a cornerstone of healthy aging, weight-bearing exercises can play a crucial role in halting and even reversing many of the above ills, while preserving and enhancing both our bone health and muscle health.

On top of that, weight-bearing activities also offer a host of other physical, mental, and emotional benefits, such as:

• better joint health,

• increased cardiovascular fitness,

• improved balance and coordination, and

• enhanced mental well-being.
