OT Osteoporosis

[cnighbor1]

It has been noted that cyclists are prone to Osteoporosis due to not providing any load bearing on their skeleton when avoiding other forms of exercise .
So has my main daily exercise is riding I have a few questions
1. is getting off the saddle helping provide load bearing on my skeleton structure?
2. I deliver newspapers once a week. that means I walk about 3 to 5 miles one day a week. does that provide load bearing on my skeleton structure to prevent Osteoporosis?
3. What else is a way to provide load bearing. I have an indoor trampoline. Yes of course walking!
thanks

Any kind of weight lifting.

Any kind of weight lifting.

Almost everyone should do some version of resistance training even if it's body weight at least 2-3 times a week if possible.

Get a bone density test run. Takes just a few minutes and is painless.
Delivering papers 3 times a week would be great.
