This exercise class is an osteoporosis prevention class designed for women of all ages and fitness levels. Held at the Waukesha office, you can enroll in the class at any time. You must have medical clearance from a physician to join this class.
Inactivity can lead to bone loss. Exercise plays a part in maintaining bone mass no matter what your age. Repeated application of physical stress to a bone will actually cause the bone to remodel and become stronger. Women can still influence the strength of bone with exercise as mature adults. One of the best weight-bearing exercises available is weight training. This class includes stretching and weight-bearing exercise for women of all ages. If you have osteoporosis or are at risk and want to maintain bone mineral, join our Tone Your Bones class. Call 262-544-4411 for more information or to register.

Cheryl keeps the class moving, interesting and gives individual attention when required. Not only is the class beneficial it is also fun and something I look forward to.” — C. Brandenburg

Pregnant women should get a dose of Tdap during every pregnancy preferably between 27 weeks and 36 weeks of gestation.
