A member asked:
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and i am a kidney transplant reciepient of 14 years. would it be recommended to wear a weighted vest for workouts?

Get to your: Nephrologist to make sure that your medications don't need to be adjusted in light of your osteoporosis. Have him check your calcium levels too. I am afraid that a weighted vest might place additional stress on your weakened bones.
