Try this low-impact resistance exercise for stronger bones.
Pilates is ideal for people with osteoporosis as it combines weight-bearing and resistance exercises. It strengthens bone tissue without impacting on joints and bones.
Try this: Lie face-down on the floor, arms alongside your body. Hold a resistance band or rolled-up towel in both hands. Lift your arms and reach them towards your feet, palms up. Pull on the band and lift your head and shoulders. Do 6-10 reps.
