Free Arthritis Exercise DVD From the Arthritis Foundation Western Pennsylvania Chapter.

BUTLER, PAMany people know all too well the limitations arthritis pain can put on their lives. But not everyone realizes that there is something they should be taking three or more days a week to help relieve their arthritis pain.

They should take a walk, take a swim or take a bike ride.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention moderate physical activity three or more days per week can help to relieve arthritis pain and stiffness in just four to six weeks. It can also lift people’s mood and make them feel more energized.

To encourage Western Pennsylvanians to lessen arthritis pain through physical activity, the Arthritis Foundation, Western Pennsylvania Chapter is offering a free arthritis exercise DVD while supplies last.

The 60-minute fitness DVD is a balanced exercise routine based on the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program and is a proven method for getting people into better shape. The DVD focuses on improving flexibility, strengthening core muscles, working out muscles and joints and boosting stamina.

To receive a free copy of the arthritis fitness DVD please call the Arthritis Foundation, Western Pennsylvania Chapter at (412) 566-1645 or toll free at 1-800-522-9900.
