Weight training is really
important, and it doesn’t have to be as intimidating as it may sound. It can
simply involve curling five-pound dumbbells (or cans of soup!) or doing push
ups. This type of exercise is important for all women, as the density of bones
lessen with age. But it’s even more important for people with lupus who are

brittle bones by depleting the bone-booster mineral, calcium.
Lifting weights can strengthen
bones, Baby Rash lessen the risk for fractures, and even prevent osteoporosis. Do
strengthening activities at least twice a week. There are easy ways to
incorporate them in to your daily life, and cost-effective ways too. For
example, you can rent exercise DVDs at your local NYC library branch, or do
sit-ups during television commercial breaks. It’s the small meaningful changes
that make the difference.
