Weight-bearing exercises involve running, walking, hiking, and playing sports that involve lifting and supporting your weight against gravity. Weight-bearing exercises are important in preventing osteoporosis and can be done either with equipment or by you at home. The impact of weight-bearing exercise plays an essential role in stimulating bone strength. High-impact exercises, such as running and jumping rope, tend to strengthen bones more than low-impact workouts like walking and swimming.

Muscle-building exercise not only strengthens bones but can also extend their lifetime. Muscles surrounding bones have a direct influence on their strength; as muscles gain strength from exercise, they pull harder on bones, which strengthens them further. Start building bones by engaging in both aerobic and muscle-building exercises, such as jumping and dancing, using a stair machine, or playing tennis. Add yoga, Tai chi, or Pilates into the mix for added protection against falls or injuries.
