Arthritis Exercise for the Pool
Yes, this workout is designed with arthritis exercises and yes, it is lower intensity. Does that mean you should skip if you don’t have arthritis or you only want high intensity exercise? No. Consider this workout in the same way that you would consider yoga or stretching. Maintaining flexibility & range of motion in your joints is as important as your muscles.
