What You Need To Know About Bone 2: It's Not The Mode It's The Load

In this episode, we break down the best approach to taking care of your bones using a government framework: Strong, Steady and Straight. We use this framework to discuss exercise and bone loading at three life-stages: a growing skeleton, a mature skeleton and a vulnerable skeleton. Listen to this episode to design a movement plan for your bones.

Also in this episode, Katy Bowman talks to Mike Dally, founder of Earth Runners, minimalist earthing sandals. Katy has walked more miles in Earth Runners than in any other shoe and Katy and Mike talk about her favourite features; from the non-slip foot bed to the replaceable straps and laces. Mike explains earthing technology and testing and describes their latest product that can ground any minimal shoe.
