Suggestions for an adjustable weighted vest for bone strengthening?

Posted by fiesty76 @fiesty76, Jan 23, 2021

I think it was a member of this forum who mentioned having a vest that could have added weights added. If so, could that person or others who have one recommend a specific brand of vest to purchase? I am off Reclast at present for my osteoporosis and am interested in add more weight bearing help. Thank you.

Hello @betterbones2,

I combined your discussion on weighted vests with an existing discussion titled:
"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 all the members discussing weighted vests could see one-another's posts under one discussion for more thoughts and questions.

@betterbones2, have you had a chance to ask your provider about weighted vests and maybe even which range of weight would be best to start at?

Thank you, Justin. God idea.
I've made a decision to not wear a weighted vest since learning about possible injuries to nerves, muscles, etc. I think I'll just keep on walking, lifting free weights and doing wall sits, leg lifts, deep knee bends and eating healthy foods.
