If you can find an arthritis range of motion class that would be the

best place to start. They are often done in swimming pools like the

"Y" or community centers. You want to learn to do stretching exercises,

but your want to learn to do them right. You don't bounce or stretsh

suddenly, you do slow repetitions and hold them.

Take care, Bill and Charlotte

"use it or lose it" and I didn't really think that was happening quite

of a mile is my limit on walking. Would an exercise bicycle help

me? What about stretching? I'm sure I have all this info on

my other computer, but I'm starting from scratch here on my laptop until

the other one arrives from Alabama. Any help would be appreciated. Love,

You might want to check out this page for some basic exercise videos:

http://marketfinder.com/amselect/sponsor/exercise-fitness/activevideos.html

These are exercise videos directed for seniors. There are lots

of gentle exercise videos, some for walking and stretching,

some for people with limited mobility, exercise videos for people in

wheelchairs, aquatic exercise videos, and some for things

like tai chi.

Just give it a look and follow the links for details.

Hope this helps,

Greetings !

Sorry for the delay. Think you probably got all the pointers you might

possibly want. However, I would add that my PT added balance exercises to

the range of motion exercises.

Since I like to walk on trails, this isn't much of a problem! But I can

always tell when I skip those walks for several days.

Regards,
