Most exercisers tend to concentrate on weight bearing activities to build up muscle. However, these activities are insufficient to reverse, stop or prevent the bone loss that occurs with osteoporosis. If you are going to improve the strength and tone of your muscles, it is best to perform activities that will synergistically build up bone as well.
The reason for this is that if you increase the size and strength of your muscle, your body also causes an increase in the density of the bone underneath. Hormones that are released during muscle building also promote an increase in bone mass.

All individuals who are in good health are capable of building muscles, regardless of their age. Research has demonstrated that even elderly people in their 90s can build up muscle mass if they pursue a regular strength training program 3 times a week for 6 months. While they are certainly not capable of building up the bulky muscle mass such as in their younger counterparts, research has shown that they have doubled in muscle strength.
