Deep Water Excercise Training
Deep Water Exercise Training at the YMCA is a great class if you want overall conditioning, or if you have had a recent injury.  Runners use the deep water as an alternative to training, especially if they are experiencing overuse injuries.  This form of exercise is also great for people who may be suffering from low back issues and can not do any impact exercises.  Come experience Deep Water Training at the Prescott YMCA Mondays and Wednesday at 5:15 pm.
 
Pilates for People with MS
Pilates is suitable for everyone.  Pilates is ideal for someone with MS as many of the exercises are done seated or lying down.  Pilates low-impact movements will be taught in a gentle and graceful manner, emphasizing proper breathing.  Pilates builds strength, teaches body awareness, promotes good posture, and improves muscle elasticity and joint mobility.  The many benefits from doing Pilates can have a good effect on many MS symptoms.
