Some: Based on physiologic responses, aerobic exercise has been far overrated. Simple walking, climbing stairs when you can and parking out in the store lots to walk helps a great deal. Some resistance or weight bearing exercise in conjunction with calcium is also good. Ankle and wrist weights while walking could be a part of this.

150 minutes/week: Physical activity guidelines for americans recommend that adults get 150 min/wk of moderate-intensity or 75 min/wk of high-intensity physical activity. Moderate intensity allows you to talk while you're exercising. High intensity means that you can't carry on a conversation. It's also recommended that adults do strength training, like lifting weights, twice a week to keep bones and muscles strong.
