Bone Builders
Let's Get Dense!

Want to build strong bones, improve your health while helping others and make new friends while making a difference?

As a Volunteer RSVP Bone Builders Class Leader, you will lead twice-weekly exercise classes (about an hour each time) that use light weights and exercises that are performed either sitting or standing next to a chair. Volunteer Instructors co-teach with a partner, allowing flexibility for vacation and personal days.

Class size is small. Participants are seniors age 55 and older. Classes are free, noncompetitive and designed to improve muscle strength, balance and bone density.

Why RSVP Bone Builders? 10 million Americans over the age of 50 have OSTEOPOROSIS, a dangerous thinning of the bones. Research shows that regular exercise can prevent and even reverse the effects of osteoporosis. Bone Builders is a program designed to target those at risk of osteoporosis and help them build healthy bones.

Become a trained RSVP volunteer and lead twice weekly group sessions in a location near you. RSVP provides the leader training - you provide the enthusiasm!
