Alongside her busy career as a journalist, television host, author and media business co-founder, Katie Couric is making time to invest in her future health.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an area of her life she\u2019s always been open about. After being diagnosed with breast cancer following a routine appointment in 2022, she used her platform to advocate for women with dense breast tissue to get regular screenings<\/a>. More recently, she revealed her experience with transient global amnesia (TGA)<\/a>, which left her with temporary short-term memory loss.<\/p>\n

Now, she\u2019s spoken about another health challenge: osteopenia. While osteopenia is not the same as osteoporosis<\/a>, it means bone mineral density is lower than normal and can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis.<\/p>\n

Osteopenia can have a number of causes, but it becomes particularly common in women after menopause, when falling oestrogen levels can accelerate bone loss.<\/p>\n

The good news is that there are ways to help maintain and strengthen bones \u2013 and resistance training is one of them. It’s something Couric has now made a regular part of her routine.<\/p>\n

In a recent Instagram post<\/a>, she gave followers a glimpse of one of her workouts, featuring six exercises targeting both the upper and lower body.<\/p>\n

\u2018So proud of myself for keeping up with strength training,\u2019 she wrote in the caption. \u2018I try to do three days a week, two with my wonderful trainer @dstranskytraining and another by myself watching his videos on YouTube and its true, what doesn\u2019t kill you makes you stronger!!!\u2019<\/p>\n

She continued: \u2018If you can\u2019t get a trainer, do it with a friend and find someone like Daniel you can watch. I have osteopenia, so I\u2019m trying to strengthen my bones.\u2019<\/p>\n

Couric’s routine combines upper- and lower-body exercises using dumbbells, cables and a TRX.<\/p>\n

Choose weights that feel challenging while still allowing you to maintain good form, and gradually increase the resistance as you become stronger. This principle, known as progressive overload<\/a>, is an important part of continuing to build strength over time.<\/p>\n
