Exercising with arthritis

Often people's first reaction is that they should stop exercising to avoid more damage their joints. But research has shown that regular, moderate exercise is better than no exercise at all even when it comes to arthritis. Exercise can actually reduce joint pain and stiffness, help to build strong muscle around the joints, and increases flexibility. And of course - you need to keep exercising to keep your heart healthy and maintain your weight.

The key word here is MODIFY. Don't stop - just change. You need to keep your muscles strong to help support the aching joints. SO don't trade in your tennis shoes for your Lazy Boy. You may have to give up some of the high impact exercise which I know can be tough mentally - but there are ways for us to keep moving even with Osteoarthritis.
