Exercise Suggestions

I am finding that anything I do with my legs seems to aggravate my knees. Last night I walked the pool with some swimming and today my left knee feels like it might flare. Can anyone suggest exercises I can do with my legs that may not aggravate my RA?

    Hi! Have you tried the Leslie Sansone walk at home DVD's? I personally haven't tried them, but a lot of people with RA swear by them. :)

    I use the Leslie Sansone walking tapes, but I go at my own pace. I have never made the first mile. Also, instead of using the dvd, I will do some walking Sanson style during commercials, or even during a show I'm watching. Start slow, go at your own pace, and do not overdue it.

    I believe I have the DVD but have never watched it. I will have to check it out. I have decided to hire a trainer to develop a program for me taking my RA into consideration. Thank you for the input.
