Important:
Consult your physician before starting any exercise activity or program. The fitness series spas
feature rubber exercise bands. When stretched, these bands create a hi-tension condition. Improper use or
failure to connect the exercise bands properly may result in injury. Always inspect all exercise equipment prior
to beginning any exercise. Do not use any damaged equipment.
Warm Water Workouts
Almost any exercise that can be done on land, including walking or jogging, can be also done in water. If you
have arthritis and you're exercising in a spa you will probably focus on range-of-motion exercises that work the
toe, ankle, knee, leg, hip, hand, wrist and shoulder. The size and shape of the spa will determine the specific
types of exercises you can do in it. Following are some low impact exercises that can assist in improving
flexibility and strength.
Forward Arm Reach
With both arms, reach straight in front of you. Raise your hands overhead as high as possible, keeping your
elbows as straight as you can. If one arm is very weak, use your other arm to help raise it.
Elbow Bend
Start with your elbows as straight as possible, fingers pointing down. Bend your elbows and try to touch your
thumbs to your shoulders. Keep your elbows close to your body. You do not have to touch your shoulders. Then
relax your elbows and straighten your arms down at your sides.
