I agree with you. I run three miles per day and love it. BTW I am 51. Good

Luck in the triathlon. I just run for fun, but I would hate like everything

bones stronger, not weaker. Did I miss something?

Kate,

It's any exercise that puts weight on the bones and joints. Good or bad depends

on how much weight you are putting on your bone and joint structures and their

condition. Exercises like jogging will place more weight on your bones then

walking due to the constant pounding while running vs. the lighter stepping you

do while walking. Weight lifting would be considered weight bearing. I don't

know how weight resistance exercises are categorized and would assume it would

depend on the exercise you are doing since you can do them sitting, standing, or

laying down. Swimming is not considered a weight bearing exercise so poses no

threat to already degrading bones or knee joints. However, if all is healthy

with the knees, hips, etck., weight bearing exercise help build bones and

muscle.

Weight bearing exercise, has to do with any exercise

relating to you body weight.

Weight lifting is mainly for muscle developement and has

actually adverse affects or post RNY patients, who tend to

have calcium deficiencies. Jogging (a orthopedic physician's

dream world and money pit) is certainly not advisable either

for us. Our bodies can be built up to handle this kind of

exercise, but just like 'normies' it catches up on you, when

you get older, with acute joint problems....

Swimming doesn't count, darnit.

LIGHT wts can include soup cans & such. For the totally sedentary, very

light weights area g ood start. And I mean LIGHT weights. Don says the

weights I use at the gym are what the muscle heads use for toothpicks.

Well, even so, the idea is to make the bones wake up & regenerate, and make

my muscles think they have a job. I don't want to scare them tinier than

they are so, dinky wts for me, gradual increase. Inky dinky wts.

So then pretty much ANY exercise you do, if you do it with your body, is a

weight-bearing exercise?? I'm no expert here, but I believe maximum benefits

to increasing your bone density means doing exercise that directly stresses

(and builds) the muscles and bones and ligaments supporting our frames. I

think weight lifting falls into this category but I would have my doubts

about gardening, strolling thru the mall, and playing ping-pong. All of

these " exercises " are weight-bearing, by your definition, but I doubt they

would provide the full benefits that other more strenuous exercises would

provide.

I firmly disagree with your assessment that weight lifting and jogging

adversely affect the majority of RNY patients. This is simply a cop-out used

by those who do not care to exercise.... " My doctor said after my surgery I'm

too delicate to exercise... " Kind of like saying a heart patient can't ever

have sex again, as it's too strenuous. Bullshit! If you don't want to

exercise, fine, nobody is going to strap you into a Bowflex and whip you

with a jump rope until you do it...but to say that the majority of WLS

patients would be adversely affected by these types of exercise is downright

irresponsible dissemination of mis-information.

Can you tell I feel passionately about this?? Damn straight. I am competing

in my fifth triathlon in less than two weeks, and I run 3 miles 3 times per

week, swim 3/4 of a mile 2 days per week, and bike an average of 25 to 40

miles per week. I'm 44, a granny, and I've never been healthier or happier

in my life. You can sit there in your rocker and claim you are too old, it's

too strenuous, blah blah blah, but not me! I'm going to be out there LIVING

my life!

Here Here, KC!!

Weight bearing exercises and weight training keeps you from losing bone mass

and does help increase bone density. Not to mention the 101 good effects on

your muscle infrastructure and cardio benefits.

And...fat is burned in the muscle cells. They are your weight burning

engines...the more muscle you have the more fat you burn. I love being lean

and mean...and a weight trainer at 54!

(Throwing KC into the cold pool to cool her down....and don't mess with me

because I lift....how's this for a bicep??
