Can weight bearing exercise reverse the side effect of bone loss?

In some cases it can, though it may be more difficult if on an aromatase inhibitor like Arimidex. Sometimes the best you can do is to stay stable. Some women here have increased their bone density after getting off of AI drugs.

My sister and a friend were able to avoid or get off of drugs by increasing weight bearing exercise. My sister switch from biking and used a rebounder. My friend adopted her first dog and started walking a lot instead of using an elliptical at the gym. Neither were on AIs or were treated for BC, though.

I've held steady until last year. After a back injury, I slacked off on the limited weigh lifting and kettle bell workouts I had been doing. Not looking forward to my next DEXA because I continue being a klutz and had to significantly reduce walking and running over the last six months.
