good workouts for losing weight

[GLC1968]

I've read somewhere that it's using the heavier weights that really helps prevent osteoporosis. Anybody know anything about that?

Any weight-bearing activity will improve bone density...improved bone density means greater risk prevention from osteoporosis. Lifting heavy, hiking/backpacking, running, tennis, boxing, etc... would all qualify.

Unfortunately, cycling and swimming don't count as 'weight-bearing'!
