[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am looking for the answer to my question- not ways to build bone density.

That’s okay, never mind.

If you want to do single leg, why not Romania dead lift? You only need a single 10 lb weight.

I am not in need of which exercises to do one legged. I’m asking a different and very specific question. [/quote]

OP, Here is your "specific" question: [b]If I do exercises where I am standing on one leg (let’s say one legged squats) is that good for bone health?[/b]

If you have read all the responses, it appears there are now conflicting studies. What they are certain about is that if you jump on the one leg, then alternate, that should do it. But a one-legged squat? Maybe. But you'd have to be in pretty good shape to be able to actually do that and squat low enough for it to make a difference. I would think you'd be better off doing a regular squat and holding a weight plate to your chest. Even better, squat and on the upward motion jump.
