Weight-bearing exercises include activities that force your body to work against gravity, enhancing bone density and muscle strength. Common examples are running, jumping, and most forms of weightlifting, such as squats and lunges. These exercises stimulate bone remodeling, helping prevent conditions like osteoporosis. Additionally, engaging in activities like dancing, hiking, and climbing stairs also counts as weight-bearing exercises, providing diversity in workout routines while effectively benefiting skeletal health.
