Yes, yes and yes. I have RA but I do not allow it to prevent me from working out.
There are days I am good and go full speed with any Beachbody workout. I currently am with Autumn Calabrese- 80 Day Obsession. There are days however I have to modify the modifier’s move.
No excuses. Doing push ups, whether it is a flaring RA day or not able to do a push up and with the desire, shoulder or hand discomfort I recommend push up supports. There are different sizes and handles make a different. I love Tony Horton (Beachbody.com) stands. The knuckles works also, I love the stands.
RA in the knees, doing squats, push that butt back further do not squat as far but do squat. Jumping jacks I am good but this right knee sometimes kick back, so I step out side to side.
If you are committed as I am, not to say some days the RA pain can cause a delay in the work out, but I do get it done. However I do not recommend pushing pain to discomfort. I do recommend knowing your limits, when to push pause on a workout if you are a Beachbody on demand subscriber, or any workout on media. At the gym take a break walk around to keep the body warm,
Be safe with RA, but no excuses.
