I am a retired teacher. I did and still do 10,000 steps. I thought all the standing and carrying notebooks back and forth to my car would help. I was shocked to find out I have severe osteoporosis. So, I am now doing weight lifting and taking Tymlos. I get a DEXA late Sept. I had to stop weight lifting for one month, due to an injury (not related to the weight lifting). I had P1NP and CTX tests every month, so I will know if weight lifting is making a difference.
