The Importance of Exercise for Bone Health, and How to Get Back Into a Routine if You’ve Lost All Motivation

Author: Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation May 16, 2022 Duration: 0:00
We all know that exercise is an important part of healthy living. It’s key in maintaining bone health too. Sometimes knowing is not enough. We have good intentions but can let regular exercise slide off the radar. On this episode of Bone Talk, BHOF CEO Claire Gill is talks with Barbara Hannah Grufferman, a nationally recognized advocate for positive living, about how to get back on track with an exercise program. Barbara is also the author of several award winning books and is the Team Captain of the BHOF “Be Bone Strong” Team.

Tuning into Bone Talk feels like pulling up a chair to a thoughtful, necessary conversation that often goes unheard. Produced by the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation, this podcast moves beyond simple medical advice, weaving together the real human stories and expert insights that define the landscape of bone health. Each episode brings a different voice to the forefront-you might hear a researcher explaining a breakthrough in treatment, a caregiver sharing their daily challenges, or a policy advocate discussing systemic change. It’s this mosaic of perspectives from patients, doctors, innovators, and advocates that gives the discussion its depth and urgency. While osteoporosis is a central focus, the dialogue naturally expands to encompass holistic well-being, nutrition, fitness, and the science of healthy aging. The goal isn’t just to inform but to equip you with practical strategies and a sense of community, emphasizing how protecting bone strength is fundamentally about preserving your independence and capacity for an active life. This isn't a clinical lecture; it's a resource built on genuine conversation, making complex topics accessible and relevant for anyone invested in their long-term health.
