Using the Wii U for Rheumatoid Arthritis Exercise

Swagnilla Ice Personal , , , , 0 Comment

When cold weather makes outdoor activity difficult, finding indoor alternatives for joint health is essential. To manage my mild RA, I’m hitting my goal of 20 minutes of daily exercise using the Wii U. Staying consistent now is the best way to ensure a long, active, and pain-free retirement. Whether it’s yoga or balance games, gaming consoles can be a surprisingly effective tool for physical therapy at home.

My Exercise Regime

I follow a steady exercise regime now of visiting the aquatic centre at Commonwealth Community Recreation Centre every other day as long as I am not working that day. My routine is a simple 20 minutes of jogging back and forth or in place in the deep area of the leisure pool (sometimes I will swim a few laps back and forth for extra exercise), then a 5 minute soak in the hot tub, and finishing with 5 minutes of riding the water slide (walking up the stairs to the top is good exercise!). This can vary by a few minutes depending on various factors, but I am usually out of the pool in about forty minutes at the latest. If you need to get more exercise, why don’t you try it? The water is great for cushioning your joints especially if you suffer from arthritic pain like I do!
