A quick way to improve bone density.

You probably know that resistance exercises help to stimulate bone growth, but what if you don’t want to lift weights?

You need to do something because osteoporosis is a real thing not only for women, but also for men.

You can actually stimulate bone growth very well without using any equipment and without spending much time.

A simple exercise like jumping up and down has been documented to be especially effective for stimulating bone growth of the hips which can be vulnerable to fractures as we get older (Zhao R, et al. 2014, Babatunde OO, et al. 2012).

Jumping also increased bone density of the whole body and the hips in osteoporotic men (Hinton PS, et al.  2015).

16 weeks of jumping 10 to 20 times twice a day improved bone density of the hips in premenopausal women (Tucker LA, et al. 2015).

Jumping a few times does not take up much time, and you don’t have to do it all at once, you could even do it 4 times a day.

That way it would not be too many jumps each time.

Exercise for Maximum Benefits

Spending Minimum Time

What if you could increase your odds of living longer and also reduce your risk for

serious disease without spending much time and without it interfering with your schedule.

You could even implement it at work, it takes literally a few seconds, a few times a day, to implement
