How do I exercise with Arthritis?

Question:

Short Answer:

With arthritis pain, we understand the last thing you probably want to do is exercise! However, exercising is tremendous for helping those who suffer from arthritis as it can help reduce pain/fatigue, as well as boosting strength/flexibility while keeping you healthy.

Longer Answer:

With our programming, you can help strengthen the muscles that surround your joints and boost your bone density, which is especially important as we age. Additionally, you can help boost your quality of life by managing pain, as well as increasing mobility and balance. Getting clearance from your doctor is always advisable but assuming you have the green light, read on for some suggestions on how to move forward.

They key to implementing our routines is to start off gentle, while also ensuring your body is adequately primed to take on the stimulus. This can be done by helping provide quality blood flow, while also performing dynamic stretching movements to prime your body for exercise. You can find some excellent upper and lower-body routines from our YouTube channels to help just with that.

When ready to start your routine, consider starting with our body-weight version of the Apex. This is a great way to ease yourself into the routine and get a feel for the movements without the external resistance. Or if a little more experienced, you can try the original Apex but consider using lighter weights (2-5lbs) and/or shooting for an Apex5 or Apex6 to start. Either way, doing something lighter/modified is a great way to start your exercise journey in finding better health, while helping alleviate joint pain.

Lastly, if looking to go the supplemental route, check out our all natural Joint Support, InflaMove, and/or Turmeric supplements to help reduce inflammation, decrease pain and improve overall joint health.
