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.
