Episode Summary:

In this powerful episode, fitness expert Holly Perkins breaks down the critical importance of strength training for bone health, revealing seven key exercises that can dramatically improve bone density and overall physical resilience. 

Show Notes:

Want stronger bones? Fitness expert Holly Perkins shares her secrets in this episode, proving that exercise might be even more important than diet for keeping your bones healthy. She talks about her own success story - how regular strength training gave her stronger bones than women half her age, even though bone problems run in her family.

Holly breaks down the seven best exercises you need: four basic moves (squats, walking lunges, deadlifts, and step-ups) plus three jumping exercises (jump rope, bouncing moves, and side-to-side jumps). But don't rush into the jumping part! She warns that starting too fast can hurt you, so begin with just 30 seconds once a week and slowly build up from there.

She busts some common myths, too - like how walking alone isn't enough to strengthen your bones. While most of your bone strength is set by age 30, Holly explains that it's never too late to make your bones stronger through the right kind of exercise. She backs this up with real results from her clients' bone scans, showing that smart strength training really works. Whether you're worried about bone health or just want to stay strong as you age, Holly's practical advice offers a clear path forward.
