Keep your joints moving. Regular exercise is a powerful ally in fighting arthritis pain as well as in preventing it in the first place. Exercise helps in several ways. It helps strengthen muscles surrounding the joints, so they provide more support. Keeping the joints moving also increases their internal lubrication so they move more easily and with less strain.
Taking walks once or twice a day is a superb exercise for people with arthritis. Not only will walking strengthen muscles, but it is also relatively low impact, so it puts very little stress on the joints. Swimming and bicycling are also good for easing and preventing arthritis pain.
When starting an exercise program, be sure to start out slowly. Doing too much all at once will only make your joints hurt more. As a rule, doctors recommend exercising three or four times a week, for twenty to thirty minutes each time. And don”??t forget to warm up by stretching for several minutes before putting your body in motion. This will help keep muscles and joints limber
, so you don”??t hurt yourself along the way.
