Did you know that this simplest form of exercise has incredible benefits for your bones?
It’s true!
Not only is walking a powerful form of exercise, but it’s also deeply connected to our human origins.
Walking upright and freely is what made us who we are today.
But let’s set the record straight – bones don’t just break because they’re weak.
The majority of fractures occur due to falls, not fragility.

It’s a simple yet effective way to support your bone health journey. Getting on the path is simple… And all it takes is taking ONE step…. And then another… And another… In this episode, Health Coach Carolyn and I dive deep into the incredible benefits of walking and how it can positively impact your overall well-being.
