Course Description: Better Bones & Balance®

The Better Bones & Balance program, developed by researchers at the Bone Research Lab at Oregon State University, uses targeted exercises that reduce the rate of bone loss, improve strength and balance, and reduce the risk of falls. Better Bones & Balance classes can help to decrease the likelihood of osteoporosis and are safe for individuals with osteoporosis and osteopenia. Exercises can be modified to suit varying levels of fitness and ability.

Additional Course Information

Equipment:
The Better Bones and Balance program typically utilizes equipment such as a stepper, a weighted vest, hand weights and resistance bands. If you do not have equipment available to you at home, your instructor will discuss options for improvising using household items. Suggestions may include using stairs instead of a stepper and canned food instead of hand weights.
