The Osteo-cise class was developed for people with or at high risk of osteoporosis. The exercises focus on lengthening the spine, improving posture, balance, and core strength. The philosophy behind Osteo-cise is to strengthen the muscles around the bones at risk for osteoporosis. This class helps safely build muscle and flexibility. Led by exercise physiologist Marcie Nowack.
