    Sometimes kids having the flotation devices etc. to get acquainted with the water can really help.:flowerforyou:

    As I said, it appears you were NOT supposed to join that other gym. Now the entire family is going to reap the benefits. I did some of my best exercise when I was doing it for my kids!

    Enjoy:flowerforyou:

    What sort of workout did you do today? Cardio, you can go again tomorrow, strength training you don't want to do back to back. BUT since you're brand new back to the gym, you might really do your body a great service by skipping a day, especially with RA involved.:happy:

    YAY I'm so very proud of you and also that your Hub hung with you for company, and how did your 8 take to the water?

    Ah, yes water, it does the body good regarding joints!! I don't know that I have arthiritis per se, but I was in a bad car accident and it caused me be dealing with some joint pain in the very cold winter monthes or the very humid summer ones and I've found nothing better than water to mellow out with.

    If you're simply going to use the pool tomorrow you might be fine. Do they have a therapy pool (warm water..typically 94 degrees) or is it the regular pool you were using today (lap pool is generally set at around 84..ten degrees lower than our warm one). I sometimes warm up in the warm water then do my water classes in the lap pool. Warm water relaxes joints really nicely!

    Get some good rest Hon:flowerforyou:
