This class will teach you how to strengthen bones and muscles, improve posture and balance.

Since we are getting into the holiday season, you will learn how to fit in fitness during the busy holiday season. Several time saving exercises will be demonstrated.
The holidays are fun and sometimes stressful. There can be holiday parties, eating temptations, and family obligations, leaving less time for exercise. For those with osteoporosis, it is not wise to take a break from your fitness program and health practices. This presentation will teach you how to live a healthy lifestyle during the busy holiday season. Several time saving exercises will be demonstrated. You will need hand weights, a mat, and a resistance band and will receive a Zoom invite the evening prior to the class.
The holidays are a whirlwind of parties, gatherings, and seasonal to-dos, often leaving us feeling “short on time.” But staying active doesn’t need to fall by the wayside, especially for bone health!

Join us to learn exercises that maximize benefits in minimal time, helping you stay on track with your health goals and keep your bones strong!
This National Nutrition Month (every year in March) is the perfect time for men and women of all ages – especially parents and their kids — to learn about the importance of eating a well-balanced diet to build strong bones. Diets high in calcium and vitamin D help ensure good bone development, growth, and preservation, which leads to a lifetime of active living.
A few years back, AARP surveyed adults fifty and older about their top health concerns. The responses named many of the usual suspects: cancer, dementia and Alzheimer’s, vision loss, heart disease, and stroke. They’re the big, scary things that doctors have been warning us about from the moment we got our first cholesterol test.
There was a time when people thought osteoporosis was something that happened to everybody when they got old. Fragile bones and a humped back were inevitable. We now know this is not true. Some people are more likely to get osteoporosis than others. These people have “risk factors” for developing weak and easily broken bones. Many of these risk factors can’t be changed, but others can. Understanding your risks will help you and your healthcare provider takes steps to ensure strong and healthy bones for a lifetime.
