Can Your Bones Last a Lifetime: Weighted Vests for Women
Post a comment (1 Comments) | Permalink
From the March 2005 edition of Dr. Fuhrman's Healthy Times:

For years, I have been advising thin women to wear and exercise
with a weighted vest. Weighted vests can be worn for hours each
day and are the most effective prescription a doctor can order to
prevent and even treat osteoporosis. The problem in the past has
been finding the best vests that are designed for women and have
the weights in the right place to strengthen the back bone and
keep the spine erect. It is important that the weights are positioned
predominantly in the back pack area so that the weight is felt on
the shoulders in order to stimulate bone development in the spine.

Frustrated with the commercially-available vests—bulky, stiff,
unattractive, and cumbersome, with the weights around the waist
instead of around the upper chest—Pamela Free (a member of
DrFuhrman.com) designed a new vest that meets my specifications
and offers the cushioning and comfort that women require. (These
new vests are available from our online store.)

Women can start with just a little weight of 6-8 pounds and
gradually increase the weight (up to ten percent of your body
weight) to strengthen their bones, not only during exercise, but as
they work, shop, bend, stand up, and move all day. Wearing a
weighted vest has other benefits as well, such as burning more
calories all day, increasing core strength, and stabilizing muscles,
thus improving balance and decreasing the risk of falls.
