Former physical therapist here, so I'm familiar with the benefits of exercise. I prefer gardening, riding my bicycle, hiking and birding (carrying a telescope a mile or two). Then I get the healing benefits of nature along with the activity. I do my best, probably a third to a half of what I previously could do physically with pain being the limiting factor. I believe the bone loss caused by prednisone is beyond what exercise can counteract, especially for women. I minimized my time on Fosamax to when I was on higher prednisone doses. I think the vitamin D is needed especially since I do wear sunscreen after enduring a chemical peel for a pre-cancerous skin condition.
