It doesn’t have to be this way! Hundreds of clinical studies have indisputably proven that doing the right exercises, improving your balance, and making some lifestyle changes, are critical factors in building stronger bones. In addition, active lifestyles are associated with reducing the risk of hip fracture by half. This class will include standing and floor exercises to improve postural alignment, balance, and strength. Joanne’s Strong Bones program is derived from evidence-based research in the field of osteoporosis. Bring your own mat, but all other equipment will be provided.
