Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program
The 2007 fall session of the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program will begin Tuesday, September 18th, 2007. The 'Basic' class will be Thursdays from 10:00AM - 11:00AM and will be instructed by Paul Keagey.  The 'Advanced' class will be on Tuesdays from 2:00PM - 3:00PM.   Anyone is welcome to participate in this program.  No registration is necessary for the 8 week session.

'Basic' Class:

The basic programs designed for individuals with arthritis, rheumatic diseases, or related musculoskeletal conditions who are limited by impaired joint motion and/or strength and who currently are sedentary.  The basic class often consists of people with rheumatoid arthritis, multiple joint osteoarthritis and back problems.  Persons with very mild disease, minimal joint involvement, or an active daily routine might not find the basic program sufficiently challenging.  All ages are welcome.

Instructor: Jenna Anderson

'Advanced' Class:

Similar to the 'Basic' class, the advaned class often consists of people with mild joint involvement and/or problems with fatigue, such as lupus or fibromyalgia.  Participants must be able to descent and arise from the floor unassisted.  Some generalized muscle soreness or some feeling of being tired from increased activity may be expected.  All ages are welcome.

Instructor: Allison Davis
