There's no doubt about it: Regular exercise is one of the best ways to protect your hips as you age. Not only will your workouts keep them mobile and strong, they'll keep your weight in check, which reduces your risk of osteoarthritis, and prevent bone loss to slash your osteoporosis risk.

"Your hips anchor your pelvis, so any dysfunction in your hips has a significant domino effect and impacts your lower back, legs, knees, ankles, and feet," says Jon Hyman, MD, an orthopedic surgeon in Atlanta. So there's a lot at stake when something goes awry within your hip joint.
