Which exercises work best?
Slow resistant exercises such as squats or bicep curls, where you engage
your abdominals throughout, are best for increasing bone density. They
work heart and lungs, tone the body, and give you the energy needed to
go about your daily activity. Here are two simple routines to add to
your daily life.
Squats:
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Squat down to the point when your
knees are at 90 degrees, and move back up slowly. Keep abdominals
engaged. For extra resistance you can hold plastic bottles of water (or
dumbbells).
Bicep curls:
Stand with both legs slightly bent. Hold water bottles (or dumbbells) in
hands, keeping elbows tight to the body and forward slightly. Slowly
curl the hands up towards the shoulders engaging the abdominals
throughout.
To get the most out of your workout
You need to make smooth regular
movements and continue the exercise until you fail and cannot do any
more. This way you will develop your strength and cardiovascular
ability, which will give you the energy needed to transform your life.
Remember to engage your abdominals and work slowly, concentrating on
posture throughout.
Tip. Diet counts too – lots of yoghourt and milk
for calcium.
Skimmed milk and low fat yoghourts are fine.
