Growing Strong
Osteo Exersice
The Strong Women Program, developed at Tufts University by Dr.
Miriam Nelson, is custom designed to address specific age related
problems, health, wellness and vibrant aging. RSVP’s Growing
Strong and Osteo Exercise Programs offers strength training for
men and women who want to increase their strength, energy and
balance and to look and feel better. RSVP staff has been certified
by Tufts University.

Strength training has been shown to reduce the signs and
symptoms of many diseases and chronic conditions in the
following ways:

Arthritis-reduces pain, stiffness and increases strength and
flexibility, Diabetes-improves glucose control.
Osteoporosis-builds bone density, improves balance and
reduces risk for falls.
Heart Disease-reduces cardiovascular risk by improving lipid
profile and overall fitness.
Obesity-increases metabolism which helps burn more calories
and helps long term weight control.
Back Pain-strengthens back and abdominal muscles to reduce
stress on the spine.

People who exercise regularly sleep better, more deeply, longer
and awaken less often. Strength training exercises can also
reduce depression, boost self-confidence and self esteem and
improve the overall sense of well-being.
RSVP conducts Growing Strong & Osteo exercise classes at 8 locations in Oneida County. There
are over 90 participants in the program! Our Growing Strong Coordinator is certified by Tufts
University to instruct classes and train Volunteer Peer Leaders. Volunteer Peer Leaders receive free
equipment and can take any Growing Strong or Osteo exercise class for free!
