We know walking is good for us, but what can it actually do for our bones? In this episode, we talk about walking as a weight-bearing and bone-building exercise, why that matters as we age, and how movement can be part of protecting bone health. We also look at what walking can do, what it can’t do alone, and other ways to keep your bones strong.
