Beyond Muscles with Strength Training

Weightlifting for Strong Bones: Harvard's Insights

Some time ago, I spoke about the cross-talk between muscles and bones, and Harvard is reminding us how important strength training is for bone health.

In a document that sums up the research on the subject, the author explains that every time we lift weights, we put good stress on our bones, which causes bone-forming cells to do their job. The end result is denser and stronger bones.

Do you want to have strong bones? Lift weights!
