My tip is to listen to podcasts. I feel like it’s a learning time for me and I tend to go longer if I’m listening to something good.

I read about Osteostrong in Tony Robbins’ newest book, “Life Force.” I too got the Osteopenia diagnosis this year and knew it was coming since it runs in my family and I’m petite, etc. Anyway, I like Osteostrong so much I decided to join their staff part-time at the Frisco location. However, they have a Dallas location for you to check out for a free session/tour: https://www.osteostrongmidtowndallas.com/

People HAVE increased their bone density and reversed Osteoporosis with it! Ten to fifteen minutes one day a week–can’t get any easier!

Take care,
Kelly

Thank you for your comment! As a runner, you are getting all of the benefits I describe in this post, and additional as well. That is fantastic! Good for you!

I have fibromyalgia and have had a DVT which led to Chronic vein insufficiency and must wear a compression garment on one leg indefinitely. (I am alive so I will wear it).
My husband walks most every day -hot, cold, and snow. I walk with him many days but I do not do the amount that he usually does –he does about 4-5 miles. I do about half. Then we walk after dinner as well when the weather permits.
I agree that walking is one of the best things for you. The DVT threw me for a loop as I was always a dancer and active. I was told I would not walk again when originally diagnosed. I guess I am stubborn and I walk.
Thank you for writing about the benefits of walking.
I do hope that your pain is not as much.

Such great information here, thanks Suzy. I Love reading all your posts!

Thanks so much for your comment! I’m so glad this post encouraged you about all the good things you’re doing for your body when you walk!

You will love the shorts! The wide waistband is awesome!
