Surgeon Recommends Resistance Training Alongside Walking for Bone Health
While walking 10,000 steps daily offers benefits for mood, heart health, and weight management, a cardiothoracic surgeon advises it's insufficient for strengthening bones. Dr. Jeremy London emphasizes that walking doesn't provide enough mechanical load to increase bone density, particularly crucial for women in midlife. He recommends incorporating resistance training to enhance bone strength, reduce fracture risk, and support overall long-term fitness and independence.
