What is Buff Bones®?
The award-winning, medically-endorsed Buff Bones® workout for bone and joint health is now available at PhysioFit in Los Altos. The exercise system uses varied and specific bone-strengthening and balance
techniques for a safe option for people with osteoporosis and arthritis. Former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona, M.D. recommended the workout, calling it “an excellent resource to continue to improve America’s bone health.”
28-year-old Rebekah Rotstein created Buff Bones® after her osteoporosis diagnosis.
excessive low bone mass and fragility. She found that people with osteoporosis and osteopenia (its precursor) were often uncertain of what type of exercise to do and concerned about safety.
“The Buff Bones® system is based on a research-supported design and combines Pilates, strength training, functional movement, and therapeutic exercise,” says Rotstein. “It also uses techniques to align the joints, enhance
posture and balance, and prepare the body for optimal loading of the bones, which is how they strengthen. I recommend the Buff Bones® system for anyone who has osteoporosis or wants to prevent it.”
According to the International Foundation, exercise is one of the most essential strategies for building and maintaining strong bones and preventing falls and fractures: “Targeted exercise is especially important in that it helps to build muscle strength, improve balance and posture, and maintain bone mass.”
