Doctors and scientists have found that exercise can be extremely beneficial to the more than 40 million Americans who suffer from arthritis. Low-impact aerobic workouts will strengthen the muscles which surround the ailing joints and stimulate the flow of synovial fluid which nourishes the affected cartilage. Physical activity reduces pain and stiffness, improves fitness and helps to make the simple things in life enjoyable again. When it comes to exercise, more is not necessarily better. 'Slow and steady, consistently, without fail' should be your motto. Arthritis will likely be part of your life for many years. The sensible strategy is to set your sights on long-term gains in flexibility, strength and endurance.
