[quote=Anonymous]I know walking doesn't help bone health. I also know that weighted vests while walking also don’t help AND that heavy people have better bone health bc the weight on their bones is helpful. If I do exercises where I am standing on one leg (let’s say one legged squats) is that good for bone health? google says yes but it also says walking w / a weighed vest is good for bone health. So I am trying to get the right answer. I would think it would be because, like a heavy set person walking around with extra weight, it is essentially taxing your one leg with 2x the body weight it is used to (versus a measly 6 lb weighted vest). So a 130 lb woman would normally have the legs go from supporting 65 lbs (half each) to 130.[/quote]
