Bone Builders: May 7

 Registration is closed for this event
Bone Builders is an exercise program designed to help individuals maintain bone mass and build on existing bone mass. Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease in which bones become weak and fragile. Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for more than 44 million Americans, 80% of whom are women. A "silent disease", because bone loss usually occurs without symptoms, people may not know they have osteoporosis until their bones become so fragile that a fracture occurs. Trained CCE volunteer, Linda Joy Mendelsohn, M.D. will lead weekly one-hour sessions in progressive weight-bearing exercises intended to reduce the onset or progression of osteoporosis. Participants should bring a mat or towel and 1-2# weights to start. Participants must provide emergency contact information and sign an acknowledgment of risk. Bone Builders in Sullivan County is offered through a partnership between CCE Sullivan, Sullivan 180, Office for the Aging's RSVP Program, and the Village of Monticello.

Thank you for your interest in the Bone Builders program!
