Arthritis Exercise Program

People with arthritis oftentimes find themselves in a Catch-22 situation. Their rational mind tells them that gentle exercise can help to relieve the pain they are experiencing. Their physical body is screaming "it hurts to walk; you can't possibly expect me to exercise!" So, what is a person to do and how can they overcome this inner conflict?

The moment you are diagnosed with arthritis, your healthcare practitioner should provide you with a comprehensive arthritis treatment plan that includes some form of exercise. This plan should also provide dietary instructions, which explain the types of foods that can help reduce arthritis pain; along with a list of foods known to aggravate symptoms -- i.e. red meat, dairy products, food additives, and processed foods, to name but a few.

Many arthritis sufferers find yoga or tai chi exercises an effective form of exercise. Others prefer water aerobics; weight training and muscle strengthening exercises; range-of-motion exercises such as dancing; or aerobic and endurance exercises such as cycling.

It's best to consult with your healthcare practitioner before starting any exercise program. It's of particular importance if you have arthritis.

Many insurance companies offer their members discounts to health clubs, exercise videos, dietary supplements, etc. Check your policy to determine if you have benefits you are unaware of. Oftentimes, health club memberships offer up to a 50 percent discount to insurance provider members. Most of these health clubs offer private sessions with a qualified trainer who can assist you in developing an arthritis exercise program best suited to your needs.

Before exercising, it is recommended to apply heat to sore joints to help warm them up and allow them to become more flexible. Always begin your arthritis exercise program by stretching before and after the routine. Last, but not least, apply cold packs to sore joints at the end of the exercise work-out.

Choose an exercise program that you enjoy. If you dislike using free weights, chances are you will not stick with the program. However, if you love water aerobics and it eases your pain, you'll be more inclined to participate on a regular basis.
