If you are in pain because of something, like arthritis, doctors would recommend some low-impact exercises like stretching so that the join pain will be alleviated. While we think that resting our painful body parts would be better, there are times to rest and times to use them so that they will not get used to being dormant.

Also, when the pain is already managed, it would be nice to enroll in low-impact fitness classes in the local gyms. They say that exercise really helps. Of course, it would not be good to join those heavy weight lifting programs and take nitric oxide supplement. The high impact cardio workouts may also just add to the swelling and the pain. All it takes is some simple workouts that will gets the body moving, the muscles working, and the heart pumping a bit. The aim here is just for overall well-being, not to have a supermodel body or a Mr. Universe silhouette.

Having arthritis is not an excuse to keep fit and healthy. It is all the more reason to get up and use those muscles and joints. Not doing anything will just exacerbate your condition. Eat healthy foods, take ample rest, and use your body whenever need but just do not overexert yourself.
