Can Exercise Help You Cope with Arthritis Pain?
Exercise really can lend a hand in coping with arthritis. How?
By strengthening muscles around your joints, which aids in
lessening stress on joints. Exercise is recommended for
everybody, but for those with arthritis, it is critical.

Debunking Common Exercise Myths, Part 1
Myth #1: Heavy weights make you “bulky”
Heavy weights typically do not lead to increased muscle mass, moderate weights do. Muscle mass is more of a function of volume (ie. number of sets x number of reps). Muscle mass is best gained...

Moderate exercise is necessary for good health.
At a minimum, walk a mile or more several times a week (or
daily) and move the arms around to loosen up the joints.
If you can't walk or ride a stationary bicycle, use a
rowing machine, swim, or join wheel chair races.
If you can do none of these things, you have my sympathy.
I had a young colleague who suffered from polio in child-
hood, so one leg was short and supported by a built-up shoe.
One day, this person was absent from the office, because a
lung had collapsed. He should at least have worked up his
pulse rate and breathing on a rowing machine, several times
per week.
Recent TV news said walking as little as 2˝ hours per week
can reduce rates of breast cancer, so 5 hours can't hurt
females or males.
I find that a brisk half hour walk raises my pulse to about
115, then it drops back below 70 by the time I have finished
my morning shower. My normal neighborhood route measures 1.8
miles.
