Thank you for the information. I would like to know more about weighted exercise. For every article I read, I can find one that contradicts it. Hard to know what to do.

Hi @missmay, you may want to check out Dr, Loren Fishman's 12 Poses vs. Osteoporosis. He is a doctor of rehabilitation medicine with Columbia University and a student of yoga himself. The yoga poses he selected have been proven to increase bone density and there are versions for osteoporosis, osteopenia, and the regular poses. Margaret Martin, Melioguide, is also a very good resource for exercises. Bob and Brad, Physical Therapists, have a podcast with Sara Meeks called "osteoporosis - there is something you can do" that is quite detailed. She explains what weight bearing exercise is. All these resources are available on YouTube and available by googling.
