The sessions meet on Mondays and Thursday, 2:30-3:30 pm at Day Kimball Hospital in RHF Conference Center 3. The Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program is co-sponsored by the Arthritis Foundation. During the six-week program, participants will go through a series of exercises and activities designed to increase mobility and function. The program is free to the first 20 participants to pre-register. It is funded through grants from Day Kimball Hospital and a grant to the Arthritis Foundation from the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health. The program includes a free manual, light hand weights, an exercise band and an exercise ball. The Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program was created for people with arthritis or osteoporosis to keep joints flexible, strengthen muscles and bones, and help reduce pain and stiffness. The low-impact class may be taken either standing or seated. The exercise routines use a variety of exercises, games and activities to relieve both the physical symptoms and the depression which often accompanies limitations caused by arthritis. Pre-registration is necessary to participate in the class and enrollment is limited.
