[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where did you hear that walking and weight lifting ISN'T good for bone health? Those are 2 of the best things you can do. Wearing a weighted vest is also good. Yoga is good. Anything to put weight pressure on the bones.[/quote]

Original post said nothing about weight lifting.

Walking isn’t rebuilding bones:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6179512/#:~:text=Atypical%20stresses%20applied%20to%20bone%20drive%20adaptive%20changes.&text=The%20stresses%20that%20induce%20osteogenesis,the%20bone%20is%20not%20habituated.&text=Thus%2C%20the%20bone%20cells%20become,cycles%20per%20day%20is%20sufficient.

Quoting the above: “he stresses that induce osteogenesis are not the numerous cycles of normal stresses that the bone experiences on a day-to-day basis; rather, the strains that induce bone formation are the atypical stresses to which the bone is not habituated.44, 53 Thus, the bone cells become accustomed to the strains associated with repetitive activities, such as walking or running. However, activities, such as multi-directional jumping, that produce strains to which the bone is not habituated, enhance the bone formation response to increase bone strength.”
