Herein lies the beauty of the chapter programs. Participating with others who understand and share the problems of MS is highly motivating, and even more important, fun, she added. One exercise program is the aquatic classes held at an Irvine fitness center. The facility has a lift and handrails. Instructors are trained to adjust the exercises to various levels of ability while keeping the program challenging as well.
Caretakers are welcome.
In fact, those who need assistance during any of the exercise programs must bring their own attendants. It is also beneficial for those who have difficulty with coordination or sensory problems. Yoga classes are also offered by the chapter. A class meets in Irvine at the chapter offices Friday mornings at 10 a.m. Classes also meet in Dana Point and Fullerton.
