Summary

This study tests whether doing Pilates exercises three times a week for 12 weeks can improve bone density in breast cancer survivors aged 40-60 who are taking hormone therapy (aromatase inhibitors). These women are at higher risk for bone loss and osteoporosis. The trial will measure changes in bone mineral density and quality of life in 60 participants.
