Weight-bearing exercise might help some. Astronauts lose bone mass when in orbit because of zero G. That's why a centrifuge or some type of mechanism will be required on long duration missions, like one to Mars. Do something that requires physical effort and eat the right foods.

@exexec I second this. Weight bearing exercise helps helps with bone density, but no real way to make them bigger. That's pretty much determined by genetics and health during early childhood.
