Medications come in if your bones have thinned past a critical point. Most women who start this early enough, and stick with it, will never need medication and will never break a bone.

2) Don’t fall down. The other part of the equation is this simple admonition. You can live the rest of your life with thin bones, and never break one, if you don’t fall down. Strength training gives you the power to fight gravity and stay on your feet. Even if you do take a fall, having strong reflexes and powerful muscles changes it from a head-on collision to a softer impact. Like the crumple zones in your car, your coordinated muscle action softens the blow. You will fall less if you’re strong, and you will fall better, dramatically lowering your odds of serious injury.

Falls aside, strength training lowers your chance of injury with all forms of exercise—in large part by speeding up your proprioceptive reflexes, but also by strengthening your tendons, ligaments, and joints. Tendons and ligaments are living tissue, but they grow more slowly as you get older. Pulling hard on a tendon strengthens the nerve connections and makes the tendon grow a bit farther into the bone, strengthening the attachment and rendering it more resistant to injury.
