Can Jumping Strengthen Your Bones? 

Updated: December 31, 2025

Dr. Tracey Clissold

Yes, but only if you do it right (most don’t)

Most people don’t think of jumping as a bone-strengthening exercise. But according to the internationally renowned bone health researcher Prof. Tracey Clissold, it might be the missing link in how we age.

Because it turns out that most exercise doesn’t create the kind of impact your bones need to stay strong. 

It simply doesn’t deliver the right signal.

But jumping does. Or more precisely… landing does!

In this fascinating interview, Prof. Clissold reveals the overlooked science of osteogenic exercise. She reveals how the way you land determines whether your bones grow stronger or weaker.

And here’s the wild part…

Her research shows it takes less than five minutes a day of these simple landings to make measurable gains in hip and spine bone density.

Watch now to see how a few focused minutes could work wonders for your bones.

In this must-watch conversation:

  • The surprising math that explains why most exercise won’t increase your bone density, and why this one tiny tweak forces your bones to get stronger.
  • Two to five minutes? See the science behind Prof. Clissold’s sub-5-minute routine and why it beats an hour of “doing it wrong.”
  • No, jumping won’t do a thing for your wrists, but this simple “kitchen workout” can target them specifically!
  • Think that gym shoes are good for you? Think again! See why Prof. Clissold says going barefoot actually reduces injury risk for this protocol.
  • Too fragile to jump? Don’t worry! These “ground-only” moves may work just as well, and they’re totally safe.
  • And much more…

And this isn’t just theory. It’s straight from published research by one of the world’s top exercise physiology experts.

Watch now to see why most people’s bones are starved of the right kind of stress, and how just two focused minutes a day can flip your body’s bone-building switch back on.

    The Osteo- gains App has terrible reviews, many glitches, and it’s not free. Why is algaecal promoting this? This woman might know what she’s talking about but I wouldn’t download and put out money for an app with complaints from almost all reviewers.

    Thank you for reaching out, Nonie. The actual exercises weren’t shown in this video — it focused on explaining the science behind osteogenic exercise rather than demonstrating the routine.

  8. Yoori AlgaeCal

    December 11, 2025 , 8:14 pm

    Thank you for reaching out, Lisa! 🙂 Safety depends on the type of implant, time since surgery, and individual health factors. As we are not medical professionals, it’s best to consult an orthopedic surgeon or physical therapist before attempting these exercises.

    Agree. I watched for a whole hour hoping to get to the exercise. The science could have been summed up much more quickly and we should not have to purchase an app to get take home value. If she shows a few exercises and we love them, then purchase the app.

  22. Lisa K.

    December 27, 2025 , 1:49 pm

    I agree with you Gail, after listening to an hour of the science behind these exercises, show us a few of them and then we can decide whether to purchase the app.

    Much too salesie…

  25. Coral

    December 12, 2025 , 9:26 am

    Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback, Janitzia.

    The interview with Prof. Tracey Clissold was meant to focus on the science behind osteogenic exercise — especially how proper landing mechanics influence bone strength. In this video, Prof. Tracey Clissold talks about the importance of jumping and landing, preferably with bare feet, to create a “jarring force” for your bones.

    But you’re absolutely right: it didn’t include a demonstration or breakdown of the 5-minute routine itself. I’m so sorry for any confusion that caused. We can see how that would feel like you were missing something!

    We’ve already passed this feedback along to our team, and it’s really helpful. We’re hopeful that we can create and share a clear, guided version of the routine in the future so everyone can put her insights into practice. In the meantime, you can check out our exercise blog HERE to view some bone-supporting exercises.

    How about women with total knee prosthesis. Is this okay ?

  46. Yoori AlgaeCal

    December 11, 2025 , 8:13 pm

    That’s an important question, Georgia. For women with a total knee replacement, jumping or high-impact exercises may not be appropriate and can vary greatly from person to person. It’s essential to check with a healthcare provider — such as an orthopedic surgeon or physical therapist — who knows your medical history before trying any osteogenic or impact-based exercises.

    They can help determine what types of movements are safe and whether modified, low-impact options would be more appropriate. I hope this helps! 🙂

    Thank you so much. Dr Clissold’s talk was very encouraging.
    I’ve been taking extra calcium since I was 30 because I know bearing children can deplete some of your supply.
    My bone density fell 0.02 points after taking Algae Cal and doing strength training at my Y 3-4 times /wk for the last 18 mo.
    My doctor finally convinced me to take a doctor prescribed supplement after I tried to increase my bone density these past 18 mo w/Algae Cal.
    I will continue taking Algae cal along with the medication he prescribed for me.

    Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Victoria, and I’m really glad to hear that Dr. Clissold’s talk felt encouraging for you.

    It sounds like you’ve been incredibly proactive about your bone health for many years, and that’s something to be proud of. I’m sorry to hear that your bone density dipped slightly despite your hard work with strength training and AlgaeCal over the last 18 months. Even small changes can feel discouraging when you’re doing everything right.

    I’m glad you were able to talk things through with your doctor and find a path forward that feels right for you. Many people choose to continue taking AlgaeCal alongside their prescribed treatment, and we fully support you in doing what’s best for your bone health with your physician’s guidance.

    If you ever have questions about how to take AlgaeCal alongside your new medication — or if you’d like help creating a schedule that keeps everything properly spaced — we’d be more than happy to help.

    Wishing you all the best in health, and please don’t hesitate to reach out anytime.

    Hi Carole, Thanks so much for reaching out — and you’re definitely not alone. A few others had the same question, so I’m really glad you asked

    The interview with Prof. Tracey Clissold was meant to focus on the science behind osteogenic exercise — especially how proper landing mechanics influence bone strength. In this video, Prof. Tracey Clissold talks about the importance of jumping and landing, preferably with bare feet, to create a “jarring force” for your bones.

    But you’re absolutely right: it didn’t include a demonstration or breakdown of the 5-minute routine itself. I’m so sorry for any confusion that caused. We can see how that would feel like you were missing something!

    We’ve already passed this feedback along to our team, and it’s really helpful. We’re hopeful that we can create and share a clear, guided version of the routine in the future so everyone can put her insights into practice. In the meantime, you can check our exercise blog HERE for bone-supporting exercises. I hope this helps!

    My comment is not showing so I am writing it again. I watched most of the interview but saw no demo. I am desperate to build my femoral neck so I looked for the app and purchased it since AlgaeCal seemed to be backing this program. I wasted the puchase money that I should have put towards my next AlgaeCal order. The Osteogains app is full of bugs and does not work. Do not waste your money, everyone. I am surprised at AlgaeCal putting this under their name.

    This video is too long. I got through 30 minutes. Yes, credentials are helpful. After that, we want to see the exercises showing how to do them safely for various age groups. I felt this was not a good use of my time because I still don’t know how to safely perform the exercises she is talking about after “investing” 30 minutes of my time. 😔 I take Algaecal products.

It is very easy to follow and like prof Clissold said it only takes 5 min to do. I tend to do it in the morning before my first cup of tea. Having routine definitely helps me stick to the programme.I know I wouldn’t have motivation to do it on my own. Best value for money spent on future health.

    Here is a video which may demonstrate the proper form at 1 minute 20 seconds (the speaker references Clissold).
    I don’t know if either of these videos address safety for women with osteoporosis at, say, the -2.8 to -3.1 range. It’s possible one or the other talks about that, but I haven’t had time to wade through two hours of talk.

    Hello, Moni and Dr. Crissold,
    I enjoyed this interview with great interest. I am not on Facebook though, so I’m wondering how to watch a demonstration of someone doing this Jumping you have talked about since I have not joined Facebook – ????? Do I jump on one leg at a time, barefooted, and land flat-footed each time for 5 minutes and then do the same on the other leg/foot?

  137. Bee AlgaeCal

    December 19, 2025 , 3:34 pm

    Hi Susie — thanks so much for reaching out! At this time, we don’t have a standalone video or demonstration showing the jumping routine itself. The interview was intended to explain the science behind osteogenic exercise rather than provide step-by-step instruction.
    We understand how helpful a demonstration would be and have shared this feedback with our team. We’re hopeful we can offer a clear, guided version in the future. In the meantime, you may find our exercise resources on our blog HERE helpful. Thanks again for your thoughtful question!

    Too long. I will have to go back and see this again and figure out how to jump but would be nice to see the routine not just hear. I understand that some people like deep dives but I personally just like a quick instruction on how/why and if I need more info, another video of who-what-where-when.

    Thank you for your feedback, Chris — you’re absolutely right: it didn’t include a demonstration of the 5-minute routine. We really appreciate you pointing this out, and we agree that seeing the routine in action can be much more helpful than hearing it described. Your suggestion for a quick, clear walkthrough is noted and shared with our team. 🙏🏻
