Aquacise
Just wondering if any of you use this as a form of exercise? I have fibro and need to do something low impact and easy on the joints. Do you get a good workout from this? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

It was my first exercise once I was approved to exercise. I still did it almost every weekday and that is over 3 years post-op. There are other exercises that I do several times a week (yoga, gym workouts) but swimming has really helped with endurance, strength and flexibility.

I loved doing aquacise used to go every day when I wasn't working, I had severe arthritis and couldn't do anything else, this was before surgery, but I'd do it again f I could, I'm not getting enough exercise but am having a really hard time fitting it in.

I love aquafit as a form of exercise - I found it really fun to bounce around to music and it was easy for me to move in the pool without too much impact on my joints. I always get a good workout -the water offers 12 times the resistance! Use pool noodles as weights to help with even more resistance to up the workout
