Menopause Influencers Are Missing the Point About Jumping

About this listen
Jumping for bone density matters. But it’s not the whole story.
After watching my 86-year-old dad trip and fall, I started thinking differently about what actually prevents falls as we age. It’s not standing still and balancing on one leg — it’s how fast you can react when something unexpected shows up.
In this episode, I talk about:
Why “jump for bone density” advice is incomplete
What plyometrics really train (and why stomping misses the point)
Reaction time, fast muscle fibers, and staying quick on your feet as we age
Why most falls happen while moving — not balancing
This is a conversation about training to stay nimble, responsive, and upright in real life.
