Bones and Joints
The human skeleton is a complex system that provides each of us with support and motion abilities. Efficient movement between the bones and with the muscles that attach to them make our lives easier. Wear and tear catches up with all of us at some point. An exercise regime can help minimize the down time a person may experience due to their bones and joints.
Exercise can help reduce pain and stiffness, and increases flexibility, muscle strength, endurance and well-being. Exercising also helps people reduce their weight and maintain weight loss. Persons with osteoarthritis should avoid high-impact sports such as jogging, tennis, and raquetball. Arthritis sufferers can benefit from exercise that includes range of motion, strengthening, and aerobics. Strengthening can be achieved using isometric exercises (pushing or pulling against resistance) and stretching to build strength and flexibility without stressing the joints. Low impact aerobics also help stabilize and support the joints and may help reduce inflammation in some joints.
Cycling and walking are easy to do, and swimming and exercising in water is highly recommended for people with arthritis. People should strive for short but frequent exercise sessions that are best laid out for them by health care professionals.
Back problems associated with many factors including obesity, poor posture, badly designed furniture and stress, can be erased with a good exercise regiment. An appropriate exercise program designed to strengthen and increase flexibility in the muscles of the abdomen may help prevent back problems. Activities like swimming, walking, cross-country skiing and partial sit-ups can help erase years of wear and tear from a person’s back.
