Bone Builders Wanted

    Are you concerned about the health of your bones?  Would you like to make a difference in the lives of people in your community, through exercise?  Help RSVP expand its popular Bone Builders exercise program by adding a class in your community.
    Recipient of the Governors Award for Healthy Aging, RSVP Bone builders is a free, ongoing program open to anyone who wants to strengthen their bones, improve balance and feel better. No experience is necessary to be a Bone Builders instructor. Anyone with a positive attitude, enthusiasm and an interest in staying healthy can learn to lead the class during a one-day workshop, planned for Tuesday, March 11, in Barre. A training manual and weights will be provided.
    To participate as a class leader, instructors make a six-month commitment to lead two one-hour classes per week, but optimally teach in teams to allow for vacations and sick days; so bring a friend.
    While the focus of Bone Builders is on strength training through the use of light free weights and body weight, the program also uses balance exercises to enhance agility and decrease the likelihood of falls. Flexibility exercises enhance joint mobility and reduce the risk of injury. Participants also form friendships, providing a fun, social atmosphere during the classes.   
    In a recent informal survey, over 90% of current RSVP Bone Builders participants reported improved strength and balance after only three months of participation.
    To learn more about starting a class in your town, transportation to or to register for the training please contact Dan Noyes, RSVP Coordinator, at 888-2190 or dan@volutneervt.com.
