Myth:	If you've been sedentary for years, there's no point in starting an exercise program.
Fact:	Nothing could be farther from the truth! No matter what your age, you can benefit from exercise.
Myth:	Once your osteoporosis has been diagnosed, it's too late to gain any benefit from exercise.
Fact:	The right exercise along with proper nutrition – including foods rich in calcium – will help stimulate bone formation which, in turn, will contribute to improving your overall health.

If you do several 30-minute aerobic workouts every week, you'll improve your cardiovascular fitness in a matter of months. But when you have osteoporosis, it's also important to add exercises that make you stronger and more flexible to help you live an active, independent life.
