Bone Builders (Each class meets twice weekly)

Bone Builders/Arthritis Foundation with Laura Morse
Zoom | 12 wks | Mondays, Fridays | starts 10/2 | 3:15-4:30 pm| Open to the public | Ages 18+ | $50 member/$100 public
This combination class incorporates exercises from Bone Builders and the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program. The class will help reduce fatigue, pain, and stiffness long associated with aging and arthritis by doing simple exercises which are designed to improve muscle strength, coordination, flexibility, and balance. The weight bearing exercises done in this class are crucial to preserving bone density. The instructor will lead class members through a series of warm-ups; leg, arm/hand, and core exercises; gentle stretches; movements to enhance balance and flexibility; followed by a cool down. We use hand and ankle weights which begin at one pound and increase incrementally according to student readiness. The entire class is done seated or standing with no floor work; each student works at the level that's appropriate for them. Anyone with or without arthritis or osteoporosis/osteopenia will benefit from this class.

Bone Builders
As we age, we all gradually lose muscle mass, bone density, flexibility, strength, and balance. The focus of Bone Builders is to diminish or avoid these negative consequences of aging. Instructors lead students through a series of warm-ups; leg, core and a rm exercises; gentle stretches; movements to enhance balance; and a series of cool downs. We use hand and ankle weights which begin at one pound and increase incrementally according to student readiness. The entire class is done seated or standing; each student works at the level that's appropriate for them. Weights are provided to those who don't have their own.
