🦴Best exercise for bone mineral density? If someone is selling the idea that they know what is “best”, they are probably wrong. ✅ most studies combine exercises and exercise types✅ there is not sufficient evidence to tease out best types, exercise, or even intensity, though it leans towards moderate or high intensity resistance + impact✅ Best bet is a variety of resistance, impact, and balance exercises What do you want to learn more about when it comes to bones and exercise?

There is no convincing evidence that yoga can increase bone mineral density in people with low bone mass. Any studies that have been done are very low quality. Yes that includes Fishman Method. If someone is selling yoga programs for bone strength, they don't know or understand the science.
