Loraine Whitefield accredited instructor (pictured) holds Gentle Exercise and Strong Bones Class every Monday morning commencing at 8.45am. The two different techniques explained below are combined into one class.
The Strong Bones class is delivered with hand held weights with the necessary exercises to achieve strength gains. These exercises will improve bone density and prevent bone fractures. You can replace muscle tissue you’ve already lost regardless of age. The effects of weight bearing exercise is seen as one of the major strategies in the prevention and management of osteoporosis.
