Hi loydl,
Probably not enough, lol. I use hand weights from 5-20 lbs depending.on exercise. Also use resistance bands for upper back. I do yoga and have been a 'walker' for years. They say that walking doesn't help build bone but I'm pretty sure it stabilized my DEXA score. Between a 6yr span, by bone only degraded from -3.2 to -3.3 in 6 years mind you. Trying not to take drugs but we shall see. I'm fightin' the good fight. Best to you.

@laren3 -3.2 and-3.3 are considered "severe osteoporosis". You are on the road to fracturing. If you don't want to fracture, try seeing an endocrinologist so they can see if there is an underlying cause for your severe bone loss, then they will most likely suggest an anabolic medication to rebuild your bone density. A -3.0 score means u have lost 25-35% of your bone mass. A this point you cannot just exercise, or supplement, your way to better bones.
