Exercise is important in maintaining strong bones, because bone forms in response to stress. Weight-bearing exercises such as walking, hiking, and dancing are all good choices. Adding exercise with light weights or elastic bands can help the bones in the upper body. > Suzi I do a good bit of that already - although I expect there is always room for improvement...! (If I don't get some shoes on right quick to get the dogs out for their walk, I am gonna be in BIG TROUBLE, MISTER...)!
