Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Classes, Support Group

	" Every day my arms and legs get stronger and my stamina is increasing. My knees do not hurt as much, and now I can get up from a chair, usually at the first try! An interesting side-effect is that I have started enjoying exercise. I used to avoid exercising and would find an excuse not to do it. Now I look forward to my sessions in the pool with you. I don’t think in terms of “how much longer do I have to do this”! I have decided that I will exercise for the rest of my life. " ~ Flora Rider speaking on Donna Amos' Arthritis Aquatic Classes

Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program is a warmwater (84-88 degrees) water-based exercise program tailor-made for people with arthritis. This program incorporates gentle activities in a friendly and supportive atmosphere in which people make new friends and try new activities. This Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program is proven to decrease pain and depression and improve functional ability, range of motion, muscle strength and aerobic fitness in participants. Our Arthritis Classes are in accordance to Arthritis Foundation standards. Because of this, there is a limit on class size requiring each member to enroll in these classes.

ever made as far as my health is concerned. I have been attending
the Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program for 9 months... The class not only helps you physically, but mentally as well, getting to meet others who have similar problems gives you encouragement to keep going.
