Hi i'm dealing with arthritis in my hips and fibromyalgia, I enjoy swimming. I take part in two aqua mobility classes a week, and I was doing great until we were given two new instructors,I'm considering leaving these classes as they are a lot more intense and causing my alot more pain in my lower joints, I would be greatful for some at home upper body and waist excercises, and i can keep up my swimming.

A few years ago, after my spinal injury, I bought some Pilates DVDs. I bought them to help me with my physio because we were living in Finland and I didn't understand all the instructions from my physio but she said it was based on Pilates. The ones I got were by Lynne Robinson. From them, I've gradually changed the exercises I do to take account of my growing strength. She does some nice easy upper body weight exercises. I still do 20 mins morning and evening and it keeps me almost pain-free most of the time, or at least at a bearable level.

Hi and welcome nosneb :)

Have a look at these

nhs.uk/Conditions/nhs-fitne...

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you :)

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news :)

Have a look at the 12 week plan, as many people have been successful following it. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate :)

We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page, bottom on a mobile.

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too :)

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey :)
