Hi - I just want to mention that everyone over 50 is at risk for osteoporosis and to strengthen bones you have to do weight bearing exercise . I hate the gym so I use a weight vest when I walk outside

I agree after reading strong women dont age that women need to do weight workouts to maintain strong muscles and bones too.
My MD said to exercise with a weight vest because it targets your whole body as you walk or run .
I also got the nyknyc vest because it is the only one really made for women not men .
I enjoy it very much and it looks very feminine .
see it at http://www.nyknyc.com I ordered it online , I got the red one and I am going back to get one in black too I love the both colors and want to change off on occasion!
