Exercise to strengthen bones (for osteoporosis)

@callalloo it would, I think, be very unusual to reverse osteoporosis using leg weights. Perhaps she was borderline. I know with my osteoporosis I would not risk leg weights. It does put pressure on the spine. With fractures now, of course I would not try that approach. You would be surprised what movements affect the spine: opening jars for instance!

She did other things as well so maybe it was the combination of efforts that helped. She explains more on her osteopenia3.com website. I'm kind of picking and choosing what seems to make sense. And doing some of the Dr. Fishman yoga poses Teri mentioned. My most recent weight-bearing exercise was schlepping a 20-lb. jug of kitty litter in from the car...not very creative but it counts in my system lol.

I read this same osteopenia3.com website, have for years. It is much more than leg weights. All kinds of research, helps and hints related to food, medicine, exercise, environmental impacts, etc. Certainly adds perspective.
