In weight-bearing exercises, your bones and muscles work against gravity and your feet and legs bear the weight. Your bones adapt to the weight and pull of the muscle during weight-bearing exercise by building more bone cells and becoming stronger. This makes your bones stronger. 3, record 2, English, - weight%2Dbearing%20exercise

Weight-bearing exercises are those done staying upright so that your feet and legs support your weight. The term "weight-bearing" should not be confused with lifting weights (known as strength training). Weight-bearing exercises can include: low-impact aerobics, walking/hiking, elliptical training, using a stair-step machine. 4, record 2, English, - weight%2Dbearing%20exercise

Les exercices de port de poids sont exécutés en position debout de sorte que vos pieds et vos jambes supportent votre poids, et que vos os et vos muscles travaillent contre la force de la gravité. Il ne faut pas confondre le «port de poids» avec les exercices effectués avec des poids (appelés entraînement musculaire). Voici des exemples d’exercices de port de poids : danse aérobique à faible impact, marche ou randonnée pédestre, entraînement sur machine elliptique, entraînement sur simulateur d’escalier. 4, record 2, French, - exercice%20de%20port%20de%20poids
