Bone Density & The Weighted Vest Debate
Description
In this episode, Hannah (@made2movept) dives into the rucking trend — walking with a weighted vest — and whether it really helps with bone density, muscle mass, and long-term health. She breaks down the science behind the hype, what studies actually show, and why strength and jump training still matter most for building stronger bones. You’ll learn how (and when) weighted vests can be helpful, what they can’t replace, and how to cut through social media myths to make the best call for your own health.
