Build Better Bones: The Impact of Exercise on Bone Health

Thursday, Dec 4, 12-1 pm

Location: Room 308

Exercise, specifically weight-bearing and impact exercise, is critical for people wanting to maximize their bone health and avoid fractures as they age. Unfortunately, many people with low bone density, osteopenia, or osteoporosis have been told not to bend, lift, or twist, creating confusion and fear about what they can and can’t do. This class will cover why certain types of movement are helpful for bone health and how you can strengthen your bones as you age.

This series is presented by Jake Raecker, DPT, a physical therapist and fitness trainer who works to help older adults age on their own terms.
