For
people with arthritis, the requirement to get more exercise is frequently met
with hesitation since one of the major symptoms is pain. Pain makes it very
difficult to get a workout in, even with relatively low-impact exercises. Arthritis diseases cause complications that make them
the number one cause for disability claims in the US.
However, this exercise rates as top of the list for people
who suffer because of how easy it is to do, and how little pain is actually
incurred.
But
doing water aerobics, say experts, is the best way to get more active and
increase range of motion, while being freed from the pain that gravity can
compound. Because it is “no-impact,” as opposed to walking, running, biking or
weight-lifting, this exercise has been shown by researchers, including those at
the School of Health at the University of Minnesota.
You must start the aerobic part of your exercise slowly, if
you are new to it. Aerobics will raise your heart rate and breathing for an
extended period of time, which keeps you and your heart healthy. Use
the large muscles of your legs and arms in a rhythmic motion to achieve
aerobics. Because water has much more resistance than air, exercise done in the
water is more strenuous and more effective. Water displaces about 90 percent of
your body weight, so there is virtually no stress on the joints, bones or
muscles of arthritis sufferers.

Better check and begin the water aerobics with a warm up period. A warm up is especially helpful for those with arthritis to "loosen up" stiff joints before starting the aerobic exercise. Gentle range of motion exercise is a good warm up before beginning aerobic water exercises.
Sit on the side of the pool and move your ankles in a circular motion, then reverse the motion. After getting in the water, do gentle stretching exercises or walk across the pool. Bend your knees and straighten them, then do the same with your arms. Warm up for five minutes.

It’s so nice to check first the temperature of
the water before starting your aerobic exercise. Warm water, between the temperatures
of 82 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit is the best for arthritics doing water
exercises. Warm water helps to relieve the pain of arthritis and will make your
exercise more comfortable. Temperatures below 82 degrees or above 88 degrees
will make the exercise uncomfortable.

For arthritis sufferers who can swim, go to the
deep end and use a flotation device, if necessary. Exercise as though you were
riding a bike, doing jumping jacks, skiing or jogging. Exercise in the shallow
end of the pool, if you can't swim. Good aerobic exercises for the shallow part
of the pool include jogging, running, leg swings, walking sideways or
backwards.

However, low-impact aerobics, low-impact dancing,
cycling and walking are activities that almost everyone can do. Even gardening
and golf (minus the golf cart) count towards your daily total, and can be done
with the aid of ergonomic or arthritis-friendly tools or gadgets.
Flexibility and strength exercises are important
as well, but some guidance may be required to modify activities according to
ability, or to target range-of-motion activities to affected joints and
muscles.
