as is heavy excercise, especially weightlifting. Terrific for the bones. Constantly challenging them with progressively increased reps and poundages in perfect form. Especially big multi-joint excercises like dips, bench presses, deadlifts and squats. Nothing is as good for the bones as these. My bones have gotten noticably thicker and stronger with my weight lifting and I only do it once a week or less. --Richard krosenth wrote: >>>Do you do anything special that you think helps your bones?
