I can move in ways that I could never manage on land, and the water supports my weight so it doesn't bother the arthritis so much. It's also helpful in keeping my balance (I had a stroke, and the balance issue seems to be the most persistent after effect) and if I do fall over, I just get a bit wetter than I was planning to, rather than risking hurting myself.<br />KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-55397935144926661342022-11-17T16:00:40.532-05:002022-11-17T16:00:40.532-05:00kait,

Or hot. When it's windy or raining, too. I missed my calling to be a pampered cat. Bummer. So I also alternate between standing and sitting when I write, and I set a 20 minute timer, and instead of walking up stairs I run up them. Back off, age-related and sedentary lifestyle diseases!

I've also tinkered with the idea of getting a balance disc, but I'm not sure I'm coordinated enough!Jennifer J.

No matter. I had classes this past Monday, Tuesday and Wed, and have a class tomorrow—all different forms of movement and/or exercise.Marilyn Levinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01417078520535685980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-17817543659321643032022-11-17T11:01:42.307-05:002022-11-17T11:01:42.307-05:00I like to walk in my community, but I admit that I...I like to walk in my community, but I admit that I don't do it often enough or go far enough. I've also done yoga using an online connection to my local library. I need to do more. I love tennis, but I don't have a partner to play with. So I recently bought myself a tennis tethered ball that enables me to play by myself. We'll see how that works.
