The ‘Build Your Bones’ classes are designed to improve the bone mineral density of participants diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia. It is also beneficial for participants wanting to prevent the onset of these conditions.

The ‘Build Your Bones’ program is based on the LIFTMOR research study conducted through Griffith University QLD, published in 2018. The recommendation is to perform supervised exercises consisting of weightbearing and progressive resistance to improve bone health.
