Exercise & Physical Activity

Regardless of age, exercise and physical activity are an important part of building and maintaining strong, healthy bones. A good all-around program that incorporates weight-bearing, strength and balance training exercises is most desirable. Weight-bearing and strength exercises are very useful for increasing or maintaining bone mass, while balance training may help with coordination and maintaining muscle mass which can help prevent falls and resulting bone fractures.
