Important things to note before participating in this exercise session:
Remember to always protect your joints before, during, and after physical activity or exercise.
If you have any concerns or questions about whether you should participate in this or any Arthritis At Home episode, please consult with your health care team first.
You will need the following for this exercise session:
1) Comfortable clothing to exercise in
2) Exercise mat – If you don’t have one you can use a piece of carpet, cushions placed together, or a few towels layered on top of one another, but make sure they won’t slip around while you are performing the exercise movements.
3) Two hand held weights (2-5 lbs or 1-2 kgs) – If you don’t have any, you can use soup cans or other items that you can hold on to safely and add a bit of weight and added challenge to your workout
We encourage you to actively participate in this exercise session!
