Hi,
Weak bones and muscles these days are mostly due to low calcium and vitamins in blood. Absence of routine exercises increases the problem. Get serum calcium and vitamin D levels checked. If low, start taking supplements in suitable dosage as advised by family physician. Regular daily exercises in form of yoga, a walk for 45 minutes helps to combat the problem.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
