Weightlifting is good for bone health

[Bonesbonesbonesbone]

Resistance training/ weightlifting is good for strengthening your bone as you age due to the gradual process of osteoporosis increasing as you age which is the gradual decrease in bone density in your bones. This is bad because if you have Osteoporosis, you are highly likely to fracture if you fall, direct injuries, indirect injuries or even impact a hard object. To manage this and reduce the decrease in bone density lifting weights in the light-moderate intensity range can help prevent or slow down Osteoporosis which is good because this will lead to a decrease in chances of fracturing during a fall or any impact whether it is a direct or indirect injury. For example, if Sean was 73 years old who has Osteoporosis or developing it, it is best recommended for him to lift weights focusing on correct form/technique and prioritizing higher repetitions with lighter load and full range of motion, he should balance this by going only 2-3x a week to recover as well in order to prevent an overuse injury which is the repeated use and stress of a body part overtime leading to minute/micro fractures.
