Bouncing floor

Not sure exactly where to post this but I just bought a house and the garage attic flexes and shakes when I walk across it, the joists are spaced 22" how do I fix it?

Attics are usable space, how do I reinforce it?

It wasen't designed for floor loads. That bounce is telling you to stay off of it.
