Wondering if it’s too late to build strong, dense bones?
Then keep reading!
Women typically reach peak bone density between 25 and 30 — and bone density typically starts gradually decreasing around 35 — slowly at first, and then faster as estrogen production decreases leading toward menopause.
While ~80% of our peak bone mass is determined by genetics, there’s good news...
🌟 You can have a BIG impact on your bone density 🌟

4 bone-density facts:
1️⃣ Starting exercise before 35 (the earlier the better) increases your peak bone mineral density and bone mass — meaning you have more to work with if & when levels start to decline.
2️⃣ For years experts thought women could only slow the inevitable decline in bone density after menopause. However, a 2020 systematic review & meta-analysis suggests it IS possible to increase bone density in post-menopausal women. Hell! Yes! Strong bones for everyone!
3️⃣ The best exercises for improving bone density are high-impact exercises, weight-bearing exercises, and resistance training. And intensity > duration. In other words, go harder, not longer.
4️⃣ A high protein diet can help us maintain good bone density.
