EPISODE RESOURCES: – Start a Be Bone Strong™ Walking Club – About the Be Bone Strong™ Team – Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation   In this inspiring replay episode of Bone Talk, I sat down with Claire Gill, CEO of the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF), to talk about something close to my heart—walking.  Yes, walking. It may be simple, but it’s one of the most powerful tools we have to build stronger bones, deepen social connections, and reshape how we age. And now, through the Be Bone Strong™ Walking Clubs, we’re bringing that power to communities all across the country.  I share how my own wake-up call with low bone density—despite running marathons and living a healthy lifestyle—transformed me into a passionate advocate for movement, strength, and aging better. We also talk about how walking clubs can be inclusive, fun, and completely doable—no matter your pace, fitness level, or age.  What you’ll hear in this episode:  Why walking is one of the best (and easiest) weight-bearing activities to maintain bone density  How a local stroll in Virginia Beach is now becoming a national movement  The Be Bone Strong™ initiative and how you can start a walking club in your community  Why these walking clubs are about more than fitness—they’re about connection, empowerment, and community  What it really takes to get started (hint: not much!)  Whether you're already walking regularly or thinking about taking that first step, this episode will give you the motivation and tools to move forward—literally.  Take a listen—and don’t forget to follow the show so you never miss an episode.   If you’re enjoying Age Better, I’d be so grateful if you left a quick review wherever you listen.    And if there’s a topic or question you’d love for me to cover in a future episode, send me a note at [email protected].
