[quote=Anonymous]When I was younger, I used to swim three times a week and occasionally go on a bike ride. I developed osteoporosis and my doctor ordered me to switch out some of my swimming for walking. You see, neither swimming nor cycling is weight-bearing, so neither will prevent osteoporosis, which is exceedingly common in short, Thin white or Asian women. Walking is weight-bearing. I wish I had done more of it earlier. If I had my bones would be in much better shape. Recent research, reported in the New York Times, shows that walking multiple times a week improves your basal metabolism more than HITT. Indeed, there is some evidence that HITT may damage your mitochondria. So, I would hardly recommend that those of you who are perimenopausal get some walking or Running in and start using weights and resistance bands if you don’t already.[/quote]
