Jump rope? One-on-one basketball? Playing like a kid could just make your bones stronger. Why? Because bounding, jumping, and tumbling put significant stress on the skeleton. And bones respond to stress by growing.</p> <p>Here are some ways to add high-impact activities to a well-rounded exercise routine:</p> <ul> <li>Seek out rougher terrain when walking pound up and down hills or seek out stairwells.</li> <li>Take up step aerobics, racket sports, basketball, or jump rope.</li> <li>Add lunges, squats, and jumps to your workout.</li> </ul> <p>High-impact exercises can be tough on the joints. So consult your doctor before trying these activities if you have arthritis, osteoporosis, or other joint problems.</p> </div></p> </div><!-- leftcontent --> </div><!-- main --> </div><!-- content --> </body> </html>
