Due to RA along with poly osteoarthritis, my new exercise routines have to be aquatic. Good thing there is a great community pool across the street and I have been able to adapt water exercise equipment even in my spa at home.
Dance lessons and regular dancing are good too, as long as I stretch before. LOL... for me, the impact exercise days are over and any kind of weight lifting/sculpting use has to be underwater. Daily 3-5 mile dog walks help too (even in the damn rain!)... and keep the pooch happy! I just adapt and try and figure out what I can do safely. Hell, I will be 59 in a couple of weeks and have the damn joints of a 90 year old! But, I am going to keep moving!!

Fighting a life long eating eating disorder and obesity (then I became an exercise addict until the arthritis!) has been yucca! But, I have found OA to be what works for me after years of idiotic yo-yo diets, binging and purgiing self-loathing. I have kept 70 lbs off for over 5 years now due to this program and my numbers from physical blood work make me smile! Oh, and my body-image is much more realistic and content!

Whatever all of you are doing to live a healier life, I commend and support you! Not so easy at all!!!
