Arthritis Foundation swimming

[Guest guest]

It's been awhile since I posted but I read everyone's posts regularly.

I finally decided to take the Arthritis Foundation swimming class at

the local fitness facility. I started a couple of weeks ago and wow!

The classes are held in therapy pools (ie. heated!) and are a series

of gentle aerobic exercises. My joints feel so good after class and my

muscles actually know I'm exercising! I'm going to get a membership

and make a habit of it.

I recommend these for everyone if you have them available to you. Many

YMCA's and other facilities offer the classes. And, many places offer

scholarships or sliding-scale fees if you have trouble with the financing.

I might even try the out-of-water classes!
