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.
