Walking with a Weighted Vest for Osteoporosis

Have you been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis? My KZbin channel was designed to help. Sharing information based on the latest research, I share exercise for osteoporosis and osteopenia, as well as healthy aging tips for everyone.
We can help promote natural bone growth through strength training, site specific weight lifting, nutrition and supplements, as well as other healthy habits. I'll share these weekly here on the Bone Boot Camp Channel!
I reversed my own osteoporosis diagnosis into osteopenia (in my hip) by committing to the exercise and lifestyle tips I share here.
I am a long-time Pilates and yoga teacher who is the creator of the online course Bone Boot Camp. Bone Boot Camp is a program that teaches you the research-backed exercises that I used to reverse my own diagnosis.

Do you have a link to the actual vest you are wearing in this video? Thanks!

[@JudiintheKitchen]

Thank you for this video. It would have been REALLY helpful for the viewer if your shirt was not black and matching the vest. I found it very hard to actually see the vest. Otherwise, great info!

[@BoneBootCamp]

good point, I may redo the video to update what is available and I will keep that in mind.

[@JudiintheKitchen]

[@lindakautzman7388]

Just diagnosed with osteoporosis. I’m a big walker ..75 yo and doing 16 min mile…in 2 mile increments. How long did it take for you to see results using the vest? I know our age is a great deal different, but I certainly need to find some answers. I’m joining your group and watching the videos. Thank you for any help you can provide. This journey is a long and confusing one. There is so much contradictory information. But weighted vest seems to be one of the things that is recommended highly. Thank you for your consideration

[@BoneBootCamp]

It took about 2 years. And yes, age is a factor. Maintaining bone may end up being the goal rather than gaining. But, that’s ok too.

If you already walked I wonder how you got this?

Great Posture and Beautiful))

The brand of the vest you are wearing please.

[@BoneBootCamp]

Ironwear fitness vest. Although I am now using the Hyper vest Elite. it is more breathable.

[@lasha4230]

Would have been nice had you said the EXACT VEST YOU HAD so that anybody who was looking into getting one would already know at least the one your wearing was a good one! I can't believe you just skipped that in your video....

[@lasha4230]

@@BoneBootCamp ty sooooo much! so many people wanted the one you had because you said it was a good one..Now at least they can have this link....

[@missyetling9905]

Thank you for telling us which vest you actual are using in the video. I don’t want to buy a cheap one that I won’t use or that hurts me. Love your video.

[@paulmcbride8164]

is it safe to go swimming in the vest?

[@BoneBootCamp]

I have not considered it before. Logically, I can see using it for a water aerobics class to create a weight bearing effect. Personally, I believe for me it would possibly alter the mechanics of my swim....not sure my lower back would be happy afterwards. I would ask a PT who knows your body mechanics how they see it impacting your swim.

[@dawnelder9046]

I am going with no. Drowning could be a side effect.

Thank you for the link.

[@missyetling9905]

It has been 3 years since you made this video. Is this still the weighted vest that you like and are still using? Or is there something else you have found that would work better?
