Can I exercise if I have arthritis?

Recent studies show that mild to moderate exercise reduces pain and enhances your overall well-being. Check with your local physical or occupational therapist, hospital, healthcare clinic or health maintenance organization (HMO) for suggestions on exercises that are best for your individual situation. Stay limber and reduce pain by walking and stretching.

Simple stretching exercises can be done in bed or under the moist heat of a hot shower. Walking will loosen up painful muscles, get your heart moving and free your mind of hurtful thoughts. Getting out of the house and doing something good for your body will bring lasting rewards.

Exercise does not have to be hard on your joints. Core-strengthening modalities like Pilates, yoga or tai chi gently stretch and strengthen your body, reducing pain and stiffness along the way. Ask your local hospital, healthcare clinic or HMO about low-cost classes or consult class offerings at your local health and fitness club.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
