When someone with arthritis wanted to exercise decades ago in the hope of getting out of pain, I found those individuals very nervous indeed, in fact they were more inclined to put up with the pain, rather than dare to exercise in the hope of improving their quality of life, it was a tough challenge to get them to even think about exercising..
Then the wet months of winter (around now) would make it worse, the cold too would make even more painful, many felt hopeless against the ever increasing pain.
But the people who did exercise through the pain and eventually get stronger, also got a lot of the pain out of their body.
They started moving better, they started getting more energy and the winter months that were previously out of bounds when it came to exercising, became much more enjoyable as exercising became firmly a big part of their daily routine.
The results from exercising, as well as overhauling what they regularly ate and drunk on a daily basis, often transformed their lives.
The science has now caught up with what we saw in the real life exercise field a long time ago, if you don’t use your body, it will start to seize up, pain will invade your body over time and eating right makes a massive difference to your energy levels, your recovery from exercise and overall health and wellbeing.
Don’t forget your mental health too, if you have decreased aches and pains in your body, you automatically feel much better, there is fresh hope in your life and you are very much more motivated to keep moving and only improve your performances, as you get much more confident exercising.
