Three types of exercise are important for keeping bones strong and doing a combination of all three is ideal.
· Weight-bearing exercises like jogging, brisk walking, hiking, tennis, golf, dancing and pickleball force muscles and bones to work against gravity, which stimulates bones to rebuild themselves and stay strong.
· Strength training activities like push-ups, yoga, lifting weights and stretch band exercises not only build muscle, but also make bones more dense or solid.
· Stretching exercises like yoga and tai chi are important for improving for maintaining flexibility, balance and coordination, which all help prevent falls and breaking bones.
