@yogagirl osteoporosis is really a spectrum, not a line. Some on here really need to avoid lifting much at all and others may be able to lift a helpful amount without problems. I have fractures and can't lift much at all. So for me any discussion of lifting feels dangerous! Clearly there are women with mild osteoporosis who are still benefiting from lifting weights. They may even still be ice-skating or riding a horse! I walk 🙂
