When followed diligently, the Bone Builders program and
exercises can help the body to increase bone density and
reverse the effects of osteoporosis.
Classes meet twice weekly, once for an hour with the second
class having an additional half-hour for education. Classes
include standing and sitting exercises, utilizing hand weights
and ankle weights for resistance training. Class leaders
receive special training. Medical clearance is required.
Participants are asked to wear loose fitting slacks and
shirts, and appropriate shoes (tennis shoes are good), and
to bring a bottle of water and a towel.
