Bone Quality"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-37\" title=\"Picture 6\" src=\"https:\/\/rknstudio.com\/osteopilateswork\/images\/wordpress\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Picture-6-300x225.png\" alt=\"Picture 6\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>In some cases, you can exercise &#8217;til the cows come home (<em>does anyone know where this expression came from? Really? &#8216;Til the cows come home?!<\/em>) and you <em>still<\/em> get no improvement in your bone density. So is it all a huge waste of time? No. Especially not if your fracture rate was reduced 300% compared to your peers who didn&#8217;t exercise.<\/p>\n<p>These are the results of a study by the Mayo Clinic. The 10-year follow-up of the initial study was done in 2002. Twelve years prior, the study began. Fifty post-menopausal Caucasian women were divided into two groups: an exercise group and a non-exercise group. The exercising group were given a spine extension exercise to perform 5 days a week for two years. The spine extension exercise performed by the exercising group is similar to the picture below. But instead of the weights being hand-held they were placed in a backpack over the upper back (between the shoulder blades). Progressively the weight was increased to 50 pounds. I know&#8230;. it does seem excessive but I am just reporting on what was performed in the study.<\/p>\n<p>The results of the women performing this exercise were pretty remarkable. Exercisers increased their spine extensor strength 70%. The amazing thing? After 10 years of not performing this exercise, the exercisers lost only 16% of their strength. The non-exercisers? They lost 27% of their strength. Isn&#8217;t that amazing? That the exercisers were able to retain so much strength after they stopped. So many people tell me after they&#8217;ve been sick that they feel that they&#8217;ve lost everything they&#8217;ve been working on. How wrong could they possibly be? You might be sick for a week or even a month and that doens&#8217;t even remotely compare to not exercising for 10 years. And these women only lost 16% of their strength! Remarkable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you need to increase bone density to reduce fracture risk?
