Osteoporosis Strength Training + Impact

Adding impact exercises, to resistance training is a proven method of strengthening bones in the hip and spine. In this class we will practice variations of exercises that involve low jumps. You will learn proper landing technique as well as how to add gentle impact to classic lunges and heel drops. All impact exercises will also be demonstrated with non-impact modifications for those who may not be appropriate candidates for impact training.
