Preventing, Maintaining and Reversing Bone Loss through Incremental Resistance Training :

The best type of training program for the prevention of osteoporosis is incremental resistance training in the form of a total body weight training program. This involves using weights that can be increased by measurable increments, such as dumbbells, barbells, bands water resistance, weight loaded machines, and through proper body positioning.

Body positioning has been found to also produce gradual increases in resistance. Let us take a look at the push-up as an example. The easiest form of the push-up is by standing against the wall and pushing your body up and down from the wall with your hands. You increase your difficulty when you perform a push-up from your knees with your hands pushing your body up and down from a chair. The intensity is again increased when you do the traditional push-up - with you lying face down on the floor and your legs straight behind you - because you are lifting your body against gravity. Finally, the load you will be lifting is greatest when you do a push-up with your knees bent.
