Listen "Can I Train with Osteoporosis"
Episode Synopsis
🎙️ Can You Train With Osteoporosis? Running, Bone Strength & Why Calcium Alone Doesn’t Work
Recorded on Christmas Eve 🎄
Before we dive in, I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas. Wherever you’re listening from, take a moment to look around and be grateful for what’s right in front of you. I’m incredibly grateful for all of you who listen to this podcast — it started as an extension of Victory Vault and is now heading into its second year, which still blows my mind.
🦴 Episode Overview
If you’ve been told you have osteopenia or osteoporosis, you were probably also told to be careful, move less, avoid lifting heavy, and maybe just go for walks.
That advice sounds safe — but it’s often the fastest way to lose more bone.
In this episode, I cover:
Whether you can (and should) train with osteoporosis
Why running is not the bone-building solution people think it is
Why calcium alone doesn’t build bone
How bone actually adapts — and what it responds to
🔑 Key Takeaways
Yes, you can train with osteoporosis — but how you train matters
Bone is living tissue and responds to force, not just movement
Progressive resistance training is one of the most powerful tools for bone health
Running may help maintain bone, but it rarely rebuilds it — and it does very little for the spine or upper body
Calcium is a raw material, not a builder — without mechanical loading, it won’t go where you want it
Nutrition and hormones (protein, vitamin D, K2, estrogen, cortisol) play a supporting role — not the leading one
Bone is built by demand, not fear.
