Welcome @jpkp83, If you haven't read through the posts in this discussion it might be helpful to learn what others have shared. @sueinmn provided some thoughts along with an article from the American Bone Health Organization on the topic of exercise and weighted vests for bone health. Here is a link to Sue's post earlier in the discussion - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/615527/.
