Join Garrett McLaughlin at Pure Movement for a casual and educational coffee meet-up focused on one important question:

What actually improves bone density?

There is no shortage of advice surrounding osteoporosis and bone health. Many people hear that walking is enough, that lifting weights is dangerous, or that bone loss is simply something to accept with age. This meet-up is designed to cut through the confusion and explore what research actually tells us about exercise and healthy bones.

Over coffee and conversation, we’ll discuss how bones respond to movement, why certain exercises are more effective than others, and how strength and balance training can support long-term bone health and reduce fracture risk.

Topics We’ll Cover

• Common myths surrounding osteoporosis, exercise, and bone density

• Why walking and light exercise alone may not be enough

• What “loading” means and how bones respond to exercise

• Demonstrations of movements and exercises that help stimulate bone

• The role of strength, balance, and movement quality in healthy aging

• Practical ways to incorporate bone-supportive exercise into everyday life

This meet-up includes both discussion and movement demonstrations so participants can better understand not only what works, but why it works.

You’ll leave with:

✓ A clearer understanding of osteoporosis and bone health
✓ Evidence-based exercise recommendations
✓ Practical movement ideas that support bone health
✓ Better understanding of strength, balance, and fracture prevention
✓ Simple strategies you can begin applying right away

Whether you're looking to improve bone health, have concerns about osteoporosis, or simply want to learn how movement can support stronger aging, this is an approachable and informative session designed to give you practical takeaways.
