If one already has osteoporosis or osteopenia, certain activities are not advised since they can precipitate a fracture. Risky activities include excessive forward bending, heavy lifting, twisting movements and high impact activity involving sudden starts and stops as well as abrupt weight shifting.

 

One must be careful to exercise properly but only after consultation with your physician.
