Hi @reneemp I heard a Bob and Brad "The Most Famous Physical Therapists on the Internet" podcast with Sara Meeks and she mentioned the risk of spinal fracture associated with weighted vests. She thought a weighted belt was better. I cleverly made one, using three ankle weights I had. I mentioned it to my rheumatologist, and he warned about fractures with that. I did purchase a Whole Body Vibration exerciser that has programs for building bone density. For years I weight trained, but stopped when I got an autoimmune disorder that only made it possible to walk. I kept the walking up, but it wasn't enough to ward off osteoporosis. Now I do the targeted strength training programs three times a week snd walk or do cardio other days. I use the vibration exerciser six days a week. Good luck.
