Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 NBC news had an interesting feature tonight on how just a few " jumps " up and down a day in schoolchildren promoted much stronger bones, expecially in the hip region. I, on occasion, perform jumping jacks and am going to be more diligent about this exercixe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Hi Francesca: A similar approach, which is what I do, is to always take stairs two at a time. On the way up it is good exercise. But the way down must be excellent for osteo. Of course one needs to be sure one is not going to trip coming down. Done it all my life and never have yet.
