Many have Osteoporosis promoted weight lifting to help strengthen muscles. What is not often noted is that anything that builds your muscles will also strengthen your bones.
For osteoporosis, in addition to controlling your body weight you really need to strengthen your bones by adding external weight.
If you enjoy walking, you may have decided to carry weights while you walk. But carrying weights may stress your fingers or hands without targeting the bones of your whole body. They can also be cumbersome and throw off your balance/stride when walking.
A far superior solution is wearing a weighted vest which will more evenly distribute the weight over your torso and allow you to balance better because the weight is close to your body.
There are many weighted vests on the market, but most have been designed for men and are quite bulky and very uncomfortable to wear.
