Sun City Anthem Fitness Center news
Arthritis

Although there are over 109 different forms of arthritis, the most common forms are rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative process caused by the wearing away of cartilage, leaving two surfaces of bone in contact with each other. The majority of people with osteoarthritis have little pain or stiffness.

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by an inflammation of the membrane surrounding joints. It is often associated with pain and swelling in one or more joints.

The benefits of exercise include stronger muscles and bones, improved cardiorespiratory fitness, and improved psychosocial well-being. Exercise is contraindicated during inflammatory periods of arthritis because exercise can worsen the process.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES FOR ARTHRITIS:

  1. Avoid quick or excessive movement. Try a low-impact cardio class or an aquacise class.
  2. Exercise sessions should be frequent and low intensity.
  3. Exercise intensity and duration should be reduce or avoided during periods of inflammation or pain.
  4. Give yourself more time to warm-up and cool down.
  5. Modify your exercise sessions in terms of intensity and duration according to how you feel.


Thanks

Co-Fitness Director
