[quote=Anonymous]Contrary to what people used to believe, walking doesn't help with bone density. Learning how to properly life heavy weights (machines, free weights, kettlebells, as an example) will help. I have a friend who swears that yoga helped her immensely, but she does a lot of it and intensely. I love the leg press machine, the kind that you sit lower at an angle and press up at an angle. For a while I was doing upper body weights and lots of walking for mild osteopenia. My upper body went back to normal, but my hips got slightly worse. Still in Osteopenia range. My mother and grandmother both had osteoporosis. I have no balance issues so I have no added jump rope and lower body heavy weights.[/quote]
