Exercise Class
Bone Builders Exercise Class
Aging in Hartland sponsors the virtual Bone Builders Exercise class offered on TUE and THU morning, 9-10:15 am. The exercises are specifically geared to seniors and modeled after an exercise program developed at Tufts University. The program focuses on increasing strength, range of motion, and balance. These exercises also help individuals maintain and increase bone mass.
There is no charge for these AiH classes.
The classes are led by AiH volunteer, Sarah Bruce, a gmRSVP-certified BB Class Leader for the Bone Builders (BB) strength-training program.
If you are interested in joining, we will set up a one-on-one session (on Zoom or possibly in person) to go over the exercises with you.
To get on the e-mail list and receive the weekly reminder message and link, e-mail the AiH office at welcome@aginginhartland.org.
Because you will be doing these exercises in your own home rather than in an in-person class, it is essential that you understand that THIS CLASS IS AN AT-YOUR-OWN-RISK ACTIVITY.
