Ladies...
I live in NJ and we have exercise classes for Osteo...very slow movements.
I go two times a week and they last about an hour to 1 1/2 hours. We do warm-ups....use weights for leg and arm exercises....and then close with some stretching.
The planned routines are from the Meridian hospital group and each group has an instructor, who most of the time is a RN.
It is free with the exception of purchasing the weights and binder at the first session.
We just heard that these exercise classes are going nationwide.
............when, ????,
but sometime in the future....
It is supposed to be helpful for when one might fall, tends to protect the bones.........at least, hopefully.
We just heard yesterday that one lady from our group, who I believe is near 80, fell the other day and really got quite bruised and scraped...but NO BROKEN BONES.
If you hear of this in your area, check it out......
It is called
PROJECT HEALTHY BONES...
an osteoporosis prevention, exercise & education program for older adults
