When Barbara Hannah Grufferman was in her early 50s, a bone density scan showed that she was on a path to developing osteoporosis<\/a>. If she didn\u2019t change her lifestyle, her bones would become increasingly brittle, putting her at high risk for spine, hip and other life-altering fractures.<\/p>\n

Ms. Grufferman had always been active, chasing after her two daughters and walking her dog around Manhattan. But she hadn\u2019t done much formal exercise since \u201cthe Jane Fonda days\u201d of her 20s, she said.<\/p>\n

Once she learned about her low bone density, she began training to run-walk the New York City Marathon and started doing daily planks and squats. She practiced standing on one foot whenever she could, to improve her balance. Today, more than 15 years later, her bone density<\/a> has held steady and she\u2019s training for her 18th marathon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a walking, talking, breathing example that it\u2019s never too late to take action,\u201d Ms. Grufferman, 67, said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But you don\u2019t have to run marathons to protect your bones. Simply adding a few strategic exercises to your routine can support them \u2014 now and in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople think of bone as this static thing,\u201d said Dr. Andrea Singer, a specialist in women\u2019s bone health at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. But \u201cit\u2019s a living, dynamic organ that is constantly remodeling.\u201d<\/p>\n
