Guest guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 Hello! I found a program on the arthritis foundation's website, called PACE. IT stands for People w/ arthritis can exercise, and it has a water aerobics class in different areas, specifically for people who suffer with joint pain. You may want to see if it's in your area. I think that the web site allowed me to type in my local information and it gave me a contact. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Liz/Carol- re: <maybe five to ten pounds weight loss can help your general sugar control. >> Every 5-10 lbs we can take off also decreases the stress to one's knee joints and lower back. I've found that daily exercise kills my appetite for hours. It also makes me thirsty and drinking lots of water is not only filling but required with a lot of the medications we injest. I truly hope that in 3 months our email chats will focus on how much better we are all feeling. Have a lovely weekend.

As soon as I get pain free I will join you maybe. Yup, I am getting to fat !!!!!! I have a none impact swing walker so weather is never a problem. And T is going to use my Treadmill .LOL Yup, we talked about it and now she has to do it too. LOL Now aren't you guys glad you don't leave so close to me.?? LOL The woman is NOT too fat!!!!! I should be so lucky as to have her figure! Well, looks like my neighbor has volunteered me to start on this endeavor. I HATE exercising. Yes, I do feel better when I do it, but I still hate it. It's just a problem of getting out there and doing it. But, okay, add me to the group. With you all supporting me and doing it yourselves, I WILL DO THIS!! Thanks, Heidi....NOT! Love you (really), T.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 hey all, I have wanted to start walking for so long but with my bad knee and my asthma its been a very slow to nonexistent walk, But I do have one of those things that Heidi (I believe it was she) sent a pic of her on and will try to start doing that. But having to take care of the home life with 2 teens, a mom and 5 dogs, 2 cats and 5 birds plus myself and the cooking and cleaning (the girls help me with this one); and then having to be a chauffer. I cannot even keep my energy level up to do much else. I don't have insurance right now and that is real hard, I do have enough medicine for 4 more mths though and hopefully something will come up so I can keep my meds up. My prayers go out to each of you and I know I don't get on very often lately as I have been very tired. but know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers daily. Susiecue this isn't the downhill end you will turn around and that's that...... so keep chin up I have to and so do each and everyone of you. Live life to live.............. That's what my brother did and hi lived 18 yrs with AIDS. Just keep the prayers going and coming. Tc all.. LOVE ya'll Barbara aka bj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the swing walker sounds excellent for the the knee problem, as it is no-impact and I find that when I exercise it helps clear my chest; it's a good idea to take a couple of puffs of albuterol before you start, and as you build up the minutes, you should feel better with any luck - go for it!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Crystal wrote: Another thing that will help all of us is to park at the far end of the parking lot and walk to the store. That is a simple way to get in some exercise. Crystal, That is such good advice, and it really is so simple to do. We have all outdoor malls here, several discount shopping centers. I love to park at one end and walk all the way through. Remember, I'm the one who will only shop for less than 30 minutes, so I rarely even go into any of the stores, or have to carry around an armload of shopping bags. But I do accomplish a lot of window shopping and exercise just by walking through the malls. It's great to see you feeling so well and posting again. I hope everything continues along so well for you. With hope and prayers, Heidi Heidi H. Griffeth South Carolina SC & SE Regional Rep PAI, Intl.
