Elder-Assist Robotic Suits, From the Real Cyberdyne 121
Tasha26 writes "No, not the one which will end up building terminator robots. BBC's Click brings news of a Japanese company, Cyberdyne, which is in the process of building different robotic suits to assist the elderly in accomplishing simple body tasks such as walking and lifting. Even though still in R&D, this video (@3m15s) shows a pretty promising future for the elderly."

clever marketing though
You make robots to help the elderly so you name your company after one that built robots which destroy most of humanity and declare war on what is left ... "Clever" probably isn't the term you were looking for.

Weight training does help with bone density but not as much as workouts that jar the body in some way. (Running, basketball, racquetball, etc.)
