Some examples of exercises that are not recommended for those with osteoporosis include touching your toes or using a rowing machine. Exercise is important for those with osteoporosis. Because you may need a bone density test and a fitness assessment first, consult a doctor before beginning an exercise program. For examples of good exercises, The Mayo Clinic offers a good slideshow.
