OSTEOREPAIR TARGET POPULATIONThis workout is primarily designed for
people who care for their healthy bones and joints, as well as overall
fitness. The program works both in a preventive as well as in a curative
sense, so everyone who is at risk should consider attending this
program. Men are also encouraged to attend this class, especially those
with a sedentary lifestyle or with a proven degree of osteopenie or even
osteoporosis.
OSTEOREPAIR CLASS STRUCTURETwo types of
exercises are important for building and maintaining bone mass and
density: weight-bearing and resistance exercises. Weight-bearing
exercises are those in which your bones and muscles work against
gravity. This is any exercise in which your feet and legs are bearing
your weight. The second type of exercise is resistance exercise or
activities that use muscular strength to improve muscle mass and
strengthen bone. Both types of exercise are included in the Freestyler
group workout Osteo repair.
