Although the book "The New Miracles of Rebound Exercise"might seem for some a little dated, the message did not lost its power. The author, Albert E. Carter explains why rebound exercising is much more effective than the normal work outs. It is because rebounding works on the cellular level. A must for those who are living with arthritis and want to improve their lifestyles. Order here. The New Miracles of Rebound Exercise

Preparing for Exercise
All exercise requires a short warm-up period. No strenuous exercise should ever be attempted with warm-up. Warm-up should encompass movement in the limbs, back and neck to prevent injury. Here is a an example of a good warm-up:

Holding onto the back of a chair with one hand for support, swing the outer leg freely until it feels "loose". Repeat with the other leg. To warm up arms, stand with weight evenly balanced and gently swing arms forward and back until all constriction of movement is gone.

Exercise and Arthritis

exercises for arthritis

Depending upon the severity of arthritis pain and the level of debilitation, exercises for arthritis prove to be the most beneficial element for abating arthritis. Because arthritis is a painful inflammation of the joints, over time and without proper therapy, arthritis can become crippling condition for the sufferer. Yet, arthritis pain can be diminished with proper exercises on a daily basis.

Depending upon the level of mobility, there are several exercises that help to maintain fluid movement or reduce stiffness. For instance, modifed knee bends, full body stretches and arching the back gently from the neck are arthritis exercise done in moderation that help abate stiffness. Rebounding arthritis through moderate exercise is the path to a longer span of movement. Use music to help with exercises. The biggest mistake people suffering with arthritis make is to curtail all movement. A program of regular arthritis exercise can be fun as well as therapeutic.

This yoga set is perfect for busy people who need to work in a way to relax. On the a.m. tape, Rodney Yee takes you through a 15-minute morning yoga set, while Patricia Walden leads a 20-minute evening routine on the p.m. tape. The a.m. tape was filmed on a beach on Maui at sunrise, providing a soothing background for this gentle workout. In the morning, Rodney tells us, "the body is rested but stiff from inactivity." The stretches he demonstrates are designed to increase circulation, improve mobility, and bring clarity to your mind. The movements are easy to follow (they include a conscious relaxation, the a.m. workout, and a guided meditation), and the set is short enough that it can be squeezed into the most hectic of morning schedules. The p.m. video was filmed at sunset in Death Valley. Patricia's yoga set is designed to quiet the mind after the stress of the day and to help you make the transition from active to quiet. She uses a combination of a centering series, standing poses, forward bends, and restorative poses to help you ease into night. You will need some firm blankets to sit on and a yoga strap (although a belt or scarf will serve the same purpose) to perform these movements. Perfect for the beginner and for the overworked. --Jenny Brown

Jane Fonda on Valium--that's what Leslie Sansone seems like in Walk & Firm for Older Adults. But that's a good thing, especially if you're the "older" person this half-hour is aimed at. Sansone takes you through her gentle in-home walking program with a peppy (but not too chipper) spirit on a set that looks like a barely furnished living room. She doesn't bother with a cast of dozens--it's just you and your private exercise guru. After a low-key warm-up that includes walking, mild kicks, and mini-squats, the pace picks up. Mild aerobic exercise is interspersed with firming and strengthening, using weights of 2 pounds or less. Throughout, she cautions against doing a move that seems too difficult or using a weight that feels too heavy. This is aerobics for the reluctant exerciser: The only thing that really matters is that you keep moving. --Valerie J. Nelson
