Bones For Life is proud to be an official affiliate supplier of Vivobarefoot - a minimalist footwear brand designed to support natural movement, foot strength and long-term musculoskeletal health.

WHY FOOTWEAR MATTERS FOR BONE HEALTH
During strength training, force travels from the ground through your feet and up through your skeleton.

Support strong, stable feet and you improve:
• Force transfer during squats and deadlifts
• Stability and balance under load
• Activation of intrinsic foot muscles
• Natural alignment and posture
• Proprioception (body awareness)
• Falls prevention capacity

Your feet are the foundation of your bone-loading strategy.

WHY VIVOBAREFOOT?
Vivobarefoot shoes are designed to:
• Allow natural foot movement
• Promote foot strength and mobility
• Provide a wide toe box for proper alignment
• Offer minimal cushioning to enhance ground connection
• Improve sensory feedback for balance and control

Unlike traditional cushioned trainers, minimalist footwear helps your feet actively engage - not switch off.

HOW THIS SUPPORTS YOUR TRAINING
At Bones For Life, we focus on:
✅ Progressive bone loading
✅ Safe, high-intensity resistance training
✅ Balance and coordination
✅ Falls prevention

Wearing appropriate minimalist footwear can enhance your connection to the floor, improve movement mechanics and help you get the most out of your ONERO® training sessions.

READY TO BUILD STRONGER FOUNDATIONS?
To try your size in Vivobarefoot shoes, speak with one of our Admin team today for sizing, colours and orders.

Stronger feet.
Better balance.
Improved bone loading.
It all starts from the ground up.

Think About Your Bones during Menopause - Not Just Hormones

Bone health is a vital part of your peri-menopause and menopause self-care, yet it’s often overlooked.

Did you know you lose most of your bone density in the first 10 years after menopause? 📉

If you’re in your 50’s, ask your GP to screen your Bone Density! Don’t wait until you’re 70 to worry about fractures.
NOW is the time to act❗️

The ONERO program is:
