New Free Four-Week Zoom Exercise Program for Osteoporosis
This new four-week exercise class will begin on Wednesday, September 22, at 4pm Eastern Time.

Studies have shown that resistance, weight-bearing, and impact exercises help to build bone density. It is crucial to learn how to exercise properly because the wrong exercises or improper form can lead to fractures and injury. This class will show you the exercises that should be performed, the exercises that should be modified and the exercises that should be avoided.
