Have osteopenia and have been trying to prevent osteoporosis. My weight-bearing exercise had been using the elliptical trainer at the YMCA. I do not want to go back there now because of COVID-19. I have joint problems and plantar fasciitis, so I have been doing some seated exercises. Do they also count as weight-bearing?
