Your mother and her doctor should discuss what physical activities she can participate in. It will likely be recommended that she should avoid high-impact sports and activities that twist the spine or require individuals to bend forward at the waist. Common exercises for people with osteoporosis include swimming, yoga, strength training, tai chi, and other endurance types of activities. In addition to regular exercise, diet is also quite important and can help one's bones to remain strong.
