Consult your health care provider before starting any exercise program for osteoporosis. You might need some tests first, including:
- Bone density measurement.
- Fitness assessment.
In the meantime, think about what kind of activities you enjoy most. If you choose an exercise you enjoy, you're more likely to stick with it over time.
