Preventing Osteoporosis: Staying Active

Certain factors can speed up bone loss or decrease bone growth. For example, a lack of activity makes bones lose their strength. Exercise plays a big part in maintaining bone mass no matter what your age. The amount and type of activity you do also play a part in keeping your bones strong. Weight-bearing and resistance exercises, such as walking, aerobic dancing, and bicycling, are just a few of the activities that are good for your bones.

Check with your health care provider before starting any new exercise program.
Stop any exercise that causes pain.

Resistance exercises, such as weight training, help maintain bones by strengthening the muscles around them. Swimming is also a good choice.

Weight-bearing exercises, such as walking briskly for 30 minutes or more a day, are a great way to maintain bone mass. Try aerobic dancing, too.

Vary your activities so you exercise all parts of your body. Try tennis, bicycling, or hiking.
