Bone FIT is a 12-month bone strength program run by the experts at FIT. The goal is to help participants build and preserve bone mineral density through progressive resistance training and impact loading, the two forms of exercise with the strongest evidence for improving bone health. Bone FIT is offered in-person on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bone FIT is designed for adults ages 20\u201380, and is especially suited to those who are pre-, peri-, or post-menopausal, or who have been told they are at risk for low bone density. No prior exercise experience is required. Classes are capped at 6\u20138 participants so that every session is closely supervised, and our instructors will scale each exercise up or down to match where you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bone FIT at UT \u2014 2 in-person classes per week (30 minutes each) held on campus in Bellmont Hall. The program runs 12 months and we hope participants to complete 90 total sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the program includes impact loading, please tell us during your consultation if you have a history of spine or hip fracture, a diagnosis of osteoporosis, or any spinal condition. We will adjust your program accordingly and may ask for clearance from your physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
