Your body is an amazing machine. Even more so when it’s tuned. Here are some ways to vary your workout, because your body adapts quickly to the same-old same-old. And doing exercises correctly means your workout is far more efficient.
Bone Growth and Strength Training
How to use strength training to stimulate bone growth:
- Use exercises that place a load on different parts of the skeleton.
- Try exercises that involve multi-joint movement and recruit many muscle groups at once, like a squat. Exercises like these often apply heavier loads and can stimulate bone formation in the spine and hips.
- Progressively increase the load on the muscles and skeletal system to stimulate the bones and prevent them from becoming accustomed to the load.
- Use a variety of different exercises to change the distribution of the load and provide the bones with new and unique stimuli.
