Exercise should always be a part of your lifestyle, whether you are a teenager, young adult, or middle-aged man or woman.

Not only does regular workout give you energy, help you lose more pounds, keep your weight in check, reduce the risk of diseases like type 2 diabetes, cholesterol, and heart disease, but it also strengthens and keeps your bones healthy.

Our bone mass reaches its peak when we’re between 25 and 30 years of age, and by 40 we start to slowly lose bone density and become prone to developing conditions like osteopenia and osteoporosis disease, in which the bone mineral density drops below the normal level, resulting in weakness, muscle pain, and fragile bones that can easily break.

If you’re above 40, you shouldn’t worry too much about that happening to you if you follow these 6 exercises, which will help slow down bone loss and make you feel and look younger!

#1 – Walk, walk, and walk

Walking is not only a form of recreation but also an excellent cardio exercise that improves your overall health.

Only 10 minutes of daily brisk walking can do wonders for you; it strengthens your muscles and bones and slows down bone loss, improves your balance and the health of your heart and lung, reduces the risk of stroke, and helps you maintain your youthful aura and appearance!

It is recommended for older adults to walk 20 minutes a day, five days per week. Performing moderate-intensity aerobic exercise is also advisable.

So slip into a comfortable pair of shoes and get moving! The more you walk, the more you’ll feel younger and lighter on your feet.

This yoga pose stretches the muscles of your legs, lower back, arms, chest, and shoulders, and prevents arthritis in which your joints become stiff and swollen and give you pain.

Here is how to do the superman pose:

Lie on your stomach with your toes flat on an exercise mat or comfortable surface, reach your arms out in front of you and keep your legs straight together. Then, slowly raise your arms and legs while keeping your belly and thighs on the mat to look like a flying superman!
