While I'm not sure about the connection between weight lifting and bone density, I do know that inactivity is a major cause of injury and lost physical fitness. A person who is obese is getting that exercise just by existing. Every time they stand up, lift an arm, bend over, or walk across the room, they are engaging in more exercise than a low body weight person does in the gym. Once that weight is gone, they will need to increase activity levels.

Stuff like walking, standing, balancing and getting on his bike are much more difficult. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6W2Hmy0Lzo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6W2Hmy0Lzo
