Otherwise you lose both bone and muscle mass. Exercise is also good for the depression that often accompanies ADT

Just to be clear, many of the ADT side effects are actually the effects of low or absent testosterone . ADT and hormone therapy in general are prescribed to lower testosterone. Side effects like weight gain, bone and muscle loss, depression, low red blood cell count, mood swings, frequent crying, ED and hair loss are all symptoms of low testosterone.
