Better Bones Information
Better Bones is a FREE, 60-minute program for people age 55 and older. The
class focuses on maintaining bone density while improving strength, flexibility and
balance. Some exercises are done seated.
Classes are ongoing throughout the year and offered at four locations. Because
this is a popular class, you are not guaranteed a spot. Some locations may be full.
If the class is already full, you will be notified by phone.
