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.
