2015 NIH study: jumping improves bone density
this was a 2015 study that i recently became aware of through Dr Mehmet Oz's health column about jumping 20x/day if you can safely do so (along with several other tips).
the study was done on pre-meno women in a randomized controlled trial. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24460005/ when i used to jump rope, my abs really got a great workout. there is a learning curve to jumping, which was my take-away.

Margaret Martin describes them here: https://melioguide.com/osteoporosis-...drop-exercise/ I have a few "senior" workouts that have heel drops.

i am post-meno and at the moment, i have retained my mobility and physical stamina. fortunately, i can do pretty much everything that i have been doing, albeit at a lower speed.
however, as some of you have shared, it's not possible. have you also abandoned rebounding? because after reading this study, i was thinking rebounding must give you the same effects but better because you have the resistance of the rebounding surface to cushion the impact?

I rebound fairly regularly, but I don’t jump high. After trying these heel drops today, they feel higher impact and I didn’t do them as high impact as I could have. But, from everything I’ve read, I do believe rebounding does help with bone density.
