The Mower County Senior Center hopes to prevent bone loss with their new exercise program beginning soon.

Bone Builders is an osteoporosis prevention program led by volunteer trainers to lead participants through different strength exercises. The program incorporates strength training, balance training and stretching.

An open house was held and many seniors are excited for it to start. 
“We had a very well attended open house,” said Sara Schafer, senior center director.

Each session is one hour long and includes a discussion about various health, nutrition, and exercise topics.

Classes are set to begin in early August.
