[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Before you sheeple adopt this Peter Attia / social media trend, interview a handful of retired military guys who did this “workout” as part of their years of active duty. Specifically, ask them about their lower back. [/quote]
We aren’t talking about 70 pound rucksacks here…I use a 12 pound vest from Amazon to walk my dog and love it. [/quote]

This. I am 51F. Dexa scan showed bone density loss. My physician recommended weight bearing (with a vest) walk for 30 mins 4-5 times a week.

A vest seems potentially better than a backpack but still not sure why adding extra weight onto the knees is wise …[/quote]
My physician told me it was a good idea to put stress on my joints and bones. Carefully, of corse. I have a family history of brittle bones and weak joints.  The way to make them stronger/more resilient is to stress them (as with all things).

I’m not talking about a 100 pound pack.  I’m talking about 30 pound vest and wearing supportive shoes.

It isn’t fundamentally different than doing weighted lunges or playing tennis.  Choos the exercise you enjoy.[/quote][/quote]
