My latest dexa showed a good increase of spinal density, with one hip staying the same and another slightly worse. I have changed how I use the vest from just walking, to adding walking up and down steps in my home many many times in a row several times a day with lunges and squats and plies done with the vest for as many reps as I can stand while watching tv.
Since my spine is improved I now add vertical jumps with the vest for 2 min daily as described in Dr. Snow’s weight vest research article. I also used the vest while on an eliptical machine with the highest resistance on the pedals. and on our treadmill with an incline.
I didn’t get osteoporosis because I was frail or out of shape - it’s genetic. My mom got it in her early 40’s.
The fact that I increased my spinal density in only one year and almost held my own with my hips leads me to believe with some more time and tweaking my exercises with my vest I will win this fight!
The vest is so versatile - I use it for tai chi, yoga, hiking, walking hills, walk aerobics, step aerobics, kickboxing , housework, doing your daily errands,rebounding etc. It’s use is only as limited as your imagination and maybe your fitness level.
