Can you tell me how to use exercise to have healthy bones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weights and cardio: Some combination of resistance training such as weigh-lifting and aerobic exercise is best for your bones and your overall health. We tend to lose bone and muscle mass as we age, so it is important to perform both resistance and aerobic exercise to stimulate your muscles and bones.
