I use an elliptical trainer with resistance set on 10 and with arm handles every day for 30 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of Pilates with a resistance circle, and am just now adding free weights (a series of 4 exercises I found here online) and jumping rope, as well as “faux jumps” and a little jogging now and then added into my power walk, which I also do daily for an hour, wearing a weight vest.
My question: Will adding Nordic walking poles to my power walk help build bone in my lumbar spine? I am looking for safe ways to build bone in that LUMBAR SPINE area since my hips and wrists were fine on the DEXA scan. Any suggestions other than the daily jumps and adding a little jogging into the power walk? Nordic poles?
