As we age, our bones lose some of their density. But there are some exercises that can help your bones maintain their health.

If running isn’t the right fit for you, experts say go for a walk and stomp your foot 2 or 3 times every 10 steps (alternating feet, naturally).Pretend like you're trying to crush an empty soda can. That can actually help stimulate and protect your bones.

BTW – walking on real ground rather than a treadmill is also better for your legs.
