414 | Weighted Vest Walking: Fleeting Fad or Menopause Fitness Game Changer?
In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Doc Jen and Doctor Dom, both doctors of physical therapy, explore the benefits and considerations of using weighted vests during walking, especially for individuals in menopause. They discuss how weighted vest walking can help improve bone density, especially for women post menopause, and offer practical tips for safe use. The hosts emphasize that while weighted vests can enhance fitness routines, strength training remains essential for bone health. They highlight that the "best" exercise tends to be the one that you enjoy the most and are able to stay the most consistent with. The episode provides actionable advice for listeners interested in boosting their health through walking and strength training.
