Description
Bone Builders is a free, volunteer-led exercise program for ages 55+ in partnership with the Montgomery County Departments of Recreation and Health and Human Services, and the RSVP volunteer program. The classes held twice per week are designed to increase bone density. Participants use ankle and hand weights, and participate in warm-up, cool-down and balance exercises. The class relies upon weight training and balance exercises to protect against fractures caused by osteoporosis by increasing muscular strength, balance and bone density. Bone Builders has a strict attendance policy: participants must consistently attend twice per week to maintain their place in class. Hand weights available. Participants must bring their own ankle weights.
This class is held at Benjamin Gaither Center
