Osteoporosis
Frequently Asked Questions
10. Which exercises are best for bone
health?
Exercise can make bones and muscles stronger and help slow the rate
of bone loss. It is also a way to stay active and mobile.
Weight-bearing exercises, done three to four times a week, are best
for preventing osteoporosis. Walking, jogging, playing tennis, and
dancing are examples of weight-bearing exercises. Strengthening and
balance exercises may help you avoid falls and reduce your chances
of breaking a bone.
