For the last couple of weeks, I sort of checked out of life after the recent health findings. Rather than trying to figure things out on my own, even though I have always been active and have an understanding on how to do most exercises I did not have a full understanding of the physiology of exercise, and what is the best benefit without major side effects, or flares. So I started researching exercise programs and personal trainers. What I found is that the majority of so called personal trainers have only been trained at they gym that work at, on how to use machines and set up exercise programs. When asked if they had a full understanding of working with people who have arthritis, most indicated that they do not, and do not know how to set up a program that would not cause additional problems or pain. The few facilities that I did find mostly had aquatic exercises and were only offered during the day during the week. The one with the best program was the YMCA, but with limited classes and times. I decided to take my research a step further and find out what was out there for kids, and short of asking their doctor or being referred to PT, it was just basic information about staying active. So my research continues and for know I will just do what I know just on a different level.
