Lesson Overview

14.2 – Weight-Bearing Exercise Essentials: Weight-bearing exercise strengthens bones by applying gentle stress that encourages growth. Activities like walking, squats, climbing stairs, and dancing help bones stay dense and durable. Using body weight or external resistance improves both bone strength and muscle support. Progressing slowly allows bones to adapt safely. These movements also improve balance and posture, reducing the risk of falls. Exercising regularly teaches your bones to respond to challenge instead of weakening over time. Practicing different movements keeps workouts enjoyable and protects multiple areas of the body. Weight-bearing habits empower you to move confidently every day. Bones remain stronger when they are used with purpose and consistency.
