Proper weight-bearing exercise stresses bones and stimulated by that stress, bone density increases. The RSVP Bone Builders program is based on this bodily response. Through the use of ankle and hand weights exercises are done seated or standing. Class participants Improve their range of motion, strength, flexibility, and balance in addition to maintaining or improving their bone density. Other benefits of a Bone Builders class include an improved sense of well-being and socializing with class participants.
