Event Description

Learn exercises that can help increase bone density and protect against osteoporosis.

About the Event

This bone-strengthening class led by American Council on Exercise (ACE)-certified instructor Mitch Menik each Monday will guide you through dynamic standing, stretching and chair exercises, performed with or without weights, designed to mildly stress the body. 

Such mild stress can spur an increase in bone density and help strengthen the muscles that support the skeletal structure. These movements also help increase flexibility and improve balance to lower the risk of falls. Gentle motions focused on breath work help oxygenate the blood. Please consult your physician before beginning any new exercise regimen.
