Take Action!
Get Active
Physical activity can help slow down bone loss.
- Aim for 2 hours and 30 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity. Try for 10 minutes at a time.
- Do strengthening activities at least 2 days a week. These include lifting weights or using resistance bands (long rubber strips that stretch).
- Find an exercise buddy. You will be more likely to stick with it if you exercise with a friend.
- Be sure to talk with your doctor before starting an exercise program.
