Exercising With Arthritis: Improve Your Joint Pain And Stiffness

Exercise is critical for people with arthritis.

It increases strength and flexibility, reduces joint pain and helps combat fatigue.

Of course, when stiff and painful joints are already bogging you down, the thought of walking around the block or swimming a few laps might make you cringe.

You don't need to run a marathon or swim the pace of an Olympic competitor to help reduce the symptoms of your arthritis. Even moderate exercise can improve your pain and help you maintain a healthy weight.
