Bones, like all parts of bodies, will adapt to correctly applied stress. The essential thinking here is that your body always wants to be prepared for something greater that may cause a catastrophic failure in the future. This is how muscle building works. If there is stress applied — picking up a heavy weight — the body will adapt by adding more muscle tissue up to one’s biological maximum. The same is true with bones, with the difference that bone grows more slowly than muscle.

Edy Seaver, a 61-year-old artist from Venice who swims and kayaks for fitness, had osteoporosis. Yes, had — as in past tense. After four months of once-a-week 10-minute workouts at OsteoStrong, a wellness studio in Mar Vista that features proprietary resistance machines, a DEXA scan showed that her bone density improved by more than 7%. That moved her up out of the osteoporosis category into osteopenia, a less severe degree of bone thinning. “This is a radical improvement in a tiny period of time — after years of getting worse and worse,” she says. “And on top of that, I feel so much stronger that I can swim 20 laps instead of my old 12.”
