Benefits of exercise
It's never too late to start exercising. Regular physical activity can:
- Increase muscle strength.
- Improve balance.
- Decrease the risk of broken bones.
- Improve posture.
- Lessen pain.
Exercising if you have osteoporosis means finding the safest, most enjoyable activities for you based on your overall health and amount of bone loss. There's no one-size-fits-all prescription.
