Suggestions for an adjustable weighted vest for bone strengthening?

Okay, I'm on a mission to attack Osteoporosis without medication! After a horrendous experience with osteo meds that are not guaranteed to begin with I've decided to attack this Osteoporosis with diet and exercise!!! If any of you have experience traveling "up" this road jump on in here. I'm a vegetarian with a ton of autoimmune and food allergies and have implemented high calcium food items into my regime. I also purched a weighted vest at the suggestion of a PA. According to my PA we cannot make bone without weight, our own or other. I'm thin and need some additional weight. I have just begun this journey and will see how things progress. Keep me in prayer as I do all of you battling this. Thanks!

How many pounds are you adding? I ask because I added
5-lb weights to my daily walks about a month ago, and now I have some knee pain. So… go slow!

Hi @colleen67, Dr. Loren Fishman has a yoga program and an ongoing study to build bone density. Google Dr. Loren Fishman "12 Poses vs Osteoporosis." @johnbishop posted the link, but I'm not sure what topic it's under. I've been cautioned about weighted vests causing fractures so be careful...

Hi @colleen67, I moved your post to this existing discussion that @fiesty76 started in the Osteoporosis & Bone Health group:

- Suggestions for an adjustable weighted vest for bone strengthening?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/suggestions-for-an-adjustable-weighted-vest-for-bone-strengthening/

I did this so you can read previous post by members talking about weighted vest and to connect with members like @sueinmn @cpd @sallyjoan as well as the helpful replies you've already received from @pp27va and @tsc.
