Bone Builders is RSVP's signature osteoporosis prevention and reversal exercise program. This free program was created by RSVP--especially to serve people who may be:
-
financially
unable to afford exercise programs.
-
intimidated by
traditional gyms and exercise
programs.
-
too frail for
traditional exercise programs.
Bone Builders uses balance
exercises and weight training to protect against
fractures caused by osteoporosis. This
program aims to increase both your muscle strength and your bone density. The classes are free, two one-hour
classes a week, and along with the
weight and balance training there is education on health topics such as
nutrition. Another benefit of the class is that people tend to develop
friendships and even see each other outside of class.
Bone Builders classes are already happening in St. Paul. We hope to bring the program to Washington and Dakota counties as well.
