Why undertake this class with an Exercise Physiologist?
Safety! While we all know exercise is good for you, people often underestimate the difference between one type of exercise and another, and the risks some exercises can pose for people with certain conditions. Having low bone mass places you at increased risk of fracture.
For this reason bone-specific exercises must be implemented correctly and supervised to reduce risk of injury. Research shows us that higher intensity exercises can help your bone health, but this type of training must take into consideration your individual requirements and be supervised by a University trained exercise professional.
