It is important to make exercise enjoyable and entertaining. Exercise does not have to be exhaustive, it can be as simple as talking a walk on a Saturday afternoon along the waterfront.

Bones are alive like other tissues in your body. Similar to muscle, bones can get stronger through exercise. Bone density and strength is usually measured by bone mass. We usually have our highest bone mass in our 30's. Going into our 40's most of us experience a reduction in bone mass that continues throughout the rest of our life. Many elderly people experience falls which can result in fractures. Exercising regularly provides the benefits of more energy, strength, and better balance which is a great prophylactic for fractures resulting from a fall. Part of a healthy bone routine is having
