What type of exercise is best for your bone health? ๐Ÿ’ช

A lot of everyday activites like gardening, walking, and housework just don't provide the skeletal system with enough load to make positive adpatations to bone health and density.

PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE TRAINING: Strength based exercise that puts high load through the body.
Example exercises: Squats, Deadlifts, Rows, Overhead Press.
Amount: 3 sets of 5-8 reps at 70-85% of your one rep max at least 2 x a week.

PROGRESSIVE IMPACT EXERCISES: Movements thats put sudden shock and impact through the body.
Example exercises: Jumping, Stomping, Running, Skipping.
Amount: 10-50 impacts up to 2-4 x your body weight at least 2 x a week.

Having a safe and effective exercise program program tailored to your level of funciton is vital, especially if you are at a higher risk of fractures. Our team at Optimum are the experts in exercise prescription for maintaining and improving bone health, so book in for a consult today!

The episode highlighted such an important conversation โ€” the disparity between menโ€™s and womenโ€™s health, the need for more female-specific research, and how we can better support women to live longer, stronger and healthier lives.

Two of the experts featured are leaders in areas we are incredibly passionate about at Optimum Exercise Physiology:

๐——๐—ฟ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—ฆ๐—ถ๐—บ๐˜€, an Exercise Physiologist and researcher who is changing the conversation around exercise, nutrition and menopause.

๐——๐—ฟ ๐—•๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฎ ๐—•๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ธ, lead researcher of the LIFTMOR study and founder of the Oneroโ„ข Strong Bones program, which uses evidence-based strength training to improve bone health and reduce fracture risk.

Lisa has completed training with both Dr Stacy Sims and Dr Belinda Beck, and this knowledge strongly shapes the way we support women through peri-menopause, menopause and beyond.

At Optimum Exercise Physiology, we believe women deserve more than generic advice.

We believe in helping women understand their changing bodies, build strength, protect their bones, support their metabolic health, and feel confident in what they can do.

Whether you are navigating peri-menopause or post-menopause, managing low bone density or osteoporosis, or living with other health conditions during this stage of life, our team can help you exercise safely and effectively.

We are also proud to offer Oneroโ„ข Strong Bones classes right here in Clare, with Lisa trained under Dr Belinda Beck to deliver these specialised, evidence-based classes.

Strong women. Strong bones. Better health for the years ahead.
