Remodelling of bone needs high impact sports such as running. This is partly a hormonal effect so it will help with all bones, but mainly lower limb and pelvis. Resistance training, cycling, swimming and such like will do very little. Start slowly and short distance and then gradually increase as you get stronger. If you are older than 40 years old and have never run hard be extra careful.
BEWARE OF 6 WEEKS! This when you feel great and want to push harder but ligaments and tendons are not yet strong, so hang back for another 6 weeks. Be extra careful if you have any health problems.
Actually I am aware of many runners who have osteoporosis. Jumping is better than running. But no exercise at all is a bad.
Oh. That's going to be hard.
Life is hard so enjoy it whilst you can.
