Sara Baker, a licensed physical therapist, discusses how regular resistance exercises, combined with a healthy diet, can help prevent the onset of osteoporosis in both men and women. These exercises, by the way, were not designed for people already diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Here is a rundown of some of the exercises she highlighted in her article:

  • Overhead press
  • Bent-over rows
  • Biceps curl
  • Triceps kick-back
  • You can also add weight-bearing cardiovascular exercise such as walking, jogging, stair-climbing, elliptical machine and dancing to your routine.

    For a more detailed description of the above-mentioned exercises, you can view her article here.
