In a zero gee environment (weightlessness), the Human Body almost immediately begins losing muscle and bone mass.
If they did not exercise, Astronauts returning from Space after a long stay on the Space Station would be unable to walk, and would have to be in a wheelchair for weeks before they could learn to walk again.

How astronauts spend their time in the space ship?
astronauts like to exercise while in the ship
What is the place where astronauts live and work in space?
The International Space Station normally has a crew of three or four, and while they rotate, most astronauts do not get to live on the space station. As of Feb. 2010 the number is now up to 6.
Is a space station the same as a space shuttle?
No, a space station is a large artificial structure in space where astronauts live and work for extended periods of time, while a space shuttle is a spacecraft that is used to transport astronauts and cargo to and from space. Space shuttles have been retired by NASA, while space stations like the ISS are still operational.
Do the astronauts need special clothes while living and working inside the space station?
Yes, astronauts wear specialized clothing while living and working inside the space station. They wear comfortable clothes for daily activities and special space suits for spacewalks or emergencies. These suits provide protection from extreme temperatures, radiation, and microgravity conditions.
How can astronauts perform their space walk and move around as if nothing while the space station is traveling at 17500 mph?
Astronauts can perform their space walk and move around as if nothing is happening while the space station is traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, because there is no gravity. This keeps them from feeling the fast speed.
Should astronauts exercise while in free fall?
Astronauts should and do exercise in freefall
Where is living and working quarters for astronauts in space?

Who lives at the International Space Station now?
As of October 2021, seven astronauts live on the International Space Station (ISS). This includes both NASA and international astronauts who are conducting various scientific research and maintenance tasks while aboard the ISS.

What type of satellite is the international space station?
The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station and not a satellite. Satellites typically orbit Earth independently, while the ISS serves as a habitable artificial satellite where astronauts live and conduct research in low Earth orbit.
What is the difference between a space station and the space shuttle?
A Space Station monitors the Space Shuttle being launched into space and so forth. And a Space Shuttle, is like a rocket they send into space. So the difference is a space shuttle is a rocket, and a space station is a building.
How do astronauts get to the space station?
In the short term the primary taxi will be the fourth generation 'Russian Soyuz'. As a matter of fact, the Soyuz has been the primary means of transporting astronauts to ISS since 2003. The space shuttles primary role has been hauled up new modules/components for ISS assembly while also providing the occasional crew rotation.
