Question: Does the Curves workout do as much for building bone density as a gym workout with Nautilus or Cybex machines?

Question Description:
I need to increase my bone density, what is the best workout ?

Answer#1: To build bone density you need to do weight-lifting types of exercises. If you are able to do any weight-bearing kinds of exercises at Curves, then it's fine - and you wouldn't need the more expensive gyms.Doing short series of flexibility exercises and "muscle-building" types don't give you the same bone density building as the weight-bearing types of exercises do.Don't forget to take in calcium and Vitamin D (short periods of real sunlight) to make everything work really well!
