OsteoFit<br />
Part of living well with osteoporosis and/or osteoarthritis<br />
involves healthy eating and physical activity. Physical<br />
activity plays an essential role in the treatment of<br />
osteoporosis by ‘stimulating’ or applying a load on our<br />
bones to maintain their structure and strength. When<br />
treating osteoarthritis, it is important to ensure proper<br />
alignment of joints as well. Exercise and physical activity<br />
play a vital role and contribute to individuals’ overall<br />
health and well-being. Four types of exercise are<br />
necessary in the management of osteoporosis and<br />
osteoarthritis: strength, posture, and core stability,<br />
balance, and weight bearing. Join us in this class to get<br />
moving, improve your strength, balance, and posture,<br />
and in turn, reduce your risk of falling.<br />
