Exercising in the Water for Seniors7/21/2026  Summer is the perfect time to get started! There are many reasons people give up on exercise, including arthritis, joint pain, recovery from surgery and illness, weight gain, boredom, and more. But aquatic exercises can help with all of that! Exercising in the water takes the weight off of hurting muscles and joints, making movement more comfortable. And water resistance actually makes any exercise harder than doing it on land, resulting in faster development of muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility – all while having fun.

Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNA) is a leading provider of comprehensive home health care and hospice services in Morris, Hunterdon, Sussex, Warren, Passaic, and Somerset Counties in Northern New Jersey. Established in 1898, generations have known that just one call to VNA opens the door to quality, patient-centered home health care solutions that allow patients to remain in the comfort of their homes with dignity, health, and independence. Did you know that Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNANNJ) is the longest-serving VNA in the state of New Jersey? So we know a thing or two about healthy aging and how to successfully “age in place” while avoiding hospitalization and nursing homes. We suggest that you learn more about our home health care services and make a plan to age at home before you have a health emergency. Medicare and supplemental insurance often do not cover all the care our patients and caregivers need. If you would like to help, please visit vnannj.org/donate or call VNA Foundation at 973-451-4148. © All content on The Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey's website, including blog posts, may be reproduced only if attributed to our organization with a link to vnannj.org.
