Hi @mpeters, I've been a pretty consistent walker for the last 25 + years averaging a couple of miles a day and my bones still thinned so I'm of the opinion that walking isn't enough. I always weight trained as well, but stopped in mid 2020 when I came down with an autoimmune disorder that caused incredible pain throughout my whole body. Through that, I did keep walking. So now I'm trying to catch up with strength training, whole body vibration exercise, etc. Good luck!
Just want to add that tai chi is very good for osteoporosis, and for balance. There are studies supporting its usefulness. I think the slow motions are actually better than walking to build muscle and possibly bone. I avoid yoga!
