Thank you HeronNS

Thanks so much for your info and link about osteoporosis. I won't risk the ankle weights as my knees can be a bit troublesome. Probably osteoarthritis. I walk long distances with my walking club but sometimes steep descents cause pain. In general they're better when I exercise more. I assume because I've built up the muscles but it's hard balancing what's beneficial against causing damage!

Best wishes Ruth
