More than 70 million Americans suffer from some type of arthritis. Contrary to popular belief, the condition doesn't just affect senior citizens: over half of those with arthritis are under 65, and some types affect twenty-somethings, teens, and even children. The one thing these people have in common? Over half the Americans with arthritis think that nothing can be done to help their condition. Now, noted exercise physiologist Erin O'Driscoll brings help to arthritis sufferers everywhere with her new book EXERCISES FOR ARTHRITIS (A Safe and Effective Way to Increase Strength, Improve Flexibility, Gain Energy, and Reduce Pain). Studies have shown that exercise reduces the joint pain and stiffness that come along with arthritis, and that's not the only way it helps: exercise also increases muscle strength, flexibility, and endurance, while helping to take off extra pounds that put pressure on joints. No matter the type of arthritis, EXERCISES FOR ARTHRITIS has an exercise that will help. From isometric exercises that build strength without stressing joints to cardiovascular workouts for improved heart health and weight loss, EXERCISES FOR ARTHRITIS covers all the bases to help people with arthritis reduce pain, improve mobility, and increase strength. Easy-to-follow photographs illustrate each exercise, making the routines simple even for those who have been sedentary for years. EXERCISES FOR ARTHRITIS is more than a workout guide. It contains valuable information for anyone affected by arthritis, from an overview of the different types of arthritis and the latest research to discussions of popular treatment methods and medications. It also offers more important to people with arthritis: the opportunity to manage their health. From tips on maintaining a "Good Health Attitude" to simple exercises that can be done in bed each morning to prepare for a great rest of the day, EXERCISES FOR ARTHRITIS gives arthritis sufferers the tools they need to have a healthy body-and a healthy outlook on life.
