Pool Access Can Reduce Arthritis Pain

There's a common misconception that in your later years you can no longer do aerobics or longer duration, higher-intensity workouts. A study from the journal of Rheumatology found that patients with osteoarthritis who practiced swimming or cycling for just 45 minutes a day experienced:

- Less Joint Pain

- Less Stiffness

- More Flexibility

- More Strength

           Aerobic exercise is critical, but most of us avoid it because we’re creature of habit. If we keep potato chips around the house, we’re likely to eat those chips when we’re hungry. If we keep apples on our desk as we work, we’re likely to snack on healthy apples instead. If you keep a tennis racket by your door, you’re more likely to feel like playing tennis on your day off. But most of us don’t have a swimming pool, so the idea of swimming involves either a gym membership or some weekly trip to the community pool at ungodly hours.

We prime ourselves by setting up our environment the right way, which is why many seniors look for homes with tons of amenities in their later years. It takes away the barriers to get us from the bed to the gym.

Our newest Torrance listing features a pool & handicap-friendly designs. OPEN HOUSE Saturday 5/25 & Sunday 5/26 1-4PM! Click here for more info!

           That is one of the reasons many seniors are moving out of their larger, suburban homes into an easier-to-maintain senior home, such as New Horizons in Torrance, Laguna Woods or Leisure Village in Camarillo, or simply local homes with less maintenance and more amenities. Homes in these communities can cost significantly less than a typical house, and they come with lots of activities, such as golf, swimming, yoga, and more to keep your mind and body active and give you plenty of social activities to meet new and interesting people.
