N.W.A. Tip Of The Week

Osteoporosis is a serious condition that many people don’t realize they have until it’s too late.

Osteoporosis is the weakening of bone tissue to the point where regular, daily activities (such as bending over) could cause a break.

While elderly individuals are often the ones who suffer from the disease, it’s important to know prevention of osteoporosis should happen well before you reach old age.

It’s the lifestyle choices you’re making from your 30’s to your 70’s that can cause the disease to affect you in retirement.

It’s been estimated that 10.2 million Americans have osteoporosis and 43.3 million Americans have low bone mass.

If you suffer from brittle bones, it doesn’t take much other than a routine slip or fall to cause one of those bones to snap.

Each year, osteoporosis causes 700,000 vertebrae fractures, and 300,000 hip fractures.

Those are some wild numbers…

The Good News?

Osteoporosis is 100% preventable, and it doesn’t take much to guarantee you never get it.

All you need to do is lift weights a few times per week, and focus on getting stronger each session.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

No, you don’t need supplements, or medications, or a special diet.

You just need to get off your arse, and pump some iron.

You also need to be sure you do it with some actual effort and gusto.

Bones are living organisms.

When they are placed under an increasing load (like when you lift weights), just like muscle tissue, they will grow, thicken, and become stronger.

You will not reap those benefits unless you:

Repeat basic, tried and true exercises each lifting session.
Track your workouts and try to lift more weight every session.

This is the #1 mistake people make when they lift weights.

I lift weights in a commercial gym.

I would guess about 10% of the people I see lifting weights each day actually tracks their sets, reps, and weights.

The other 90% are “just winging it”.

They go into the gym, and do whatever they feel like doing that day.

Maybe they’ll have a vague idea in mind like “Today is chest day”, but that’s about it.

Contrast this with what you need to do if you want to reap the benefits of stronger bones.

You should walk into the gym every session knowing exactly what you will be doing.

You should know every exercise (because you did this workout the previous week).

You should know what weights you used last session (because you tracked them).

You should also know how many reps you did last session as well.

And this time?

You try to beat those numbers!

This is exactly what you should be doing every time you lift weights, period.

This is considered “training”, and it’s how you make real progress.

It’s how you build muscle, increase strength, increase your metabolism, change your body proportions, and yes, protect yourself from osteoporosis.

Don’t believe me?

Here’s an exchange from 2 of AF’s clients from our Facebook Group:

Note “my bone density is that of a young adult, and I am 67″…

Or how about this message I recently received from an ecstatic soldier in our Army.

Osteoporosis CURED, all from lifting weights:

There’s a zillion reasons to lift weights.

Lots of them are vanity-driven.

But reality is, if you’re not lifting weights, your muscle, your bone, and your body in general is slowly breaking down.

Lifting weights regularly and eating healthy is the closest thing to the fountain of youth that we have.

It’s a shame more people don’t realize it, and make it a goal to lift weights regularly for the rest of their lives.
