Expert: - 4/3/2004


Question
For this 250-word Fitness department piece for Arthritis Today Magazine I need some creative suggestions on 10-minute exercise activities people with arthritis and related conditions can perform. My editor wants more than the obvious (brisk walking, etc.). If you have been involved in a study on the benefits of these short sessions (when people can't or won't do longer sessions), a quote or two would be appreciated. ASAP, and thank you!

Answer
Sherry,
I would be more than happy to help you.  In order to give you a better answer, I could grant you a phone interview toll free 1-888-862-7787. Just call or email me possible interview times.  

I can also refer you to other exercise and nutrition specialists if you don't get answers you are seeking.  healthyenergy@softhome.net

Take Care,
