[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG! Walking absolutely is good for bone density and bone health! It is a weight bearing activity. It is obviously not a high stress activity like jumping or running but it is absolutely helpful for bone density.

To OP's 'question' (hard to really see a question in there) - jumping on one leg will help with bone density.  Just standing on one leg? No, not

You don't seem like you really know where to start with an exercise routine. You should download a free app like FitOn where you can look up work outs to get you started. [/quote]

This is why it is dangerous to listen to laypeople.

Quoting:

Walking — although it can be a great form of exercise in general — isn’t enough to build stronger bones,
said Kerri Winters-Stone, an exercise physiologist and a professor at Oregon Health & Science
University. The skeleton becomes accustomed to the loads we typically subject the body to.
“You have to surprise the bone,” she said. “You have to do something different.”
