Bare minimum, we see two sprint interval sessions or one sprint and one high intensity session and three lifting sessions a week. But you can combine the sprint and the lifting for one day in the gym. So you might do lower body posterior chain work. We're doing hip thrusts and deadlifts. And then we finish off with some sprints on the bike. And then you're done and dusted.

Or maybe you do box jumps instead of sprints on the bike as your high-intensity work, and then you're done and dusted. So like I was saying earlier, it's about the quality of the work that you're doing rather than the volume of the work that you're doing.

When we look at how bones respond to stress, we need multidirectional stress to invoke actual bone regeneration and increasing our bone density. Jumping does that because you're landing and it's complete... stress in all the different planes that go up through the skeletal system, which then causes a cascade response of I need to be stronger through the entire bone.

If we look at just running, it's very uni-planar and it doesn't cause that multi-directional stress. We look at walking, it doesn't either. Strength training does, but not to the extent of jump training. So if people can't jump, strength training is going to help improve bone density, especially the heavier work that you should be doing. But just plain running doesn't do it.

You can do that. When we're looking specifically at building bone, it's a landing, not how we've been taught with soft knees, but absorbing the impact through our bones. We're not jumping really high.

We might be on a low box and jumping off as a depth jump and landing kind of flat footed hard or doing pogo, pogo jumping where you're flat footed and absorbing the impact through your skeletal system. And it only takes 10 minutes, three times a week at the most to invoke change.

but you're not getting the impact from the ground. Because our body moves when it hits the ground, the ground doesn't move. Whereas the trampoline, it moves. So you're not getting the same kind of reactive force through the skeletal system.
