Swimming is good for individuals with arthritis because it's less weight bearing. Research finds that swimming can improve your mental state and put you in a better mood. Water aerobics is another option. These classes help you burn calories and tone up.

US TOPPERS FIGHTING. For Professional Careers.
David Petraeus is unlikely to face court-martial, but remains under military jurisdiction, adultery alone is not often prosecuted without other violations. Gen. John Allen is in a fight for his career. He was expecting to become the allied commander in Europe, instead he's investigated in an ever widening sex scandal. The FBI is trying to determine how Paula Broadwell, who had an affair with Petraeus was able to obtain classified files.
US FISCAL CLIFF. Will congress take the walk or stop the madness.
The takeaway is about offering to help others during their time of need. As Hurricane Sandy came storming in to cause death, destruction and affecting millions. Many have been displaced, their houses are gone, family memories washed away and power has still not been restored. In addition, some schools are not open, with students left out out in the cold.
Hurricane Sandy can teach US a lesson in what is important. State assessments, mandatory curriculum, and for a few days even the election took a back seat to the devastation that played out all across the eastern seaboard.
