Latest bone scan shows osteopenia in my right hip, so I've added stepping to my exercise routine. Osteoporosis is a potential side effect of the meds I'm on to try to prevent cancer recurrence. Though disappointing, the scan result is not surprising. Says the Mayo Clinic, "Weight-bearing aerobic activities involve doing aerobic exercise on your feet, with your bones supporting your weight. Examples include walking, dancing, low-impact aerobics, elliptical training machines, stair climbing and gardening. These types of exercise work directly on the bones in your legs, hips and lower spine to slow mineral loss. They can also provide cardiovascular benefits, which boost heart and circulatory system health."0
