Exercise and arthritis

Lake Toxaway, NC(Zone 7a)

When I started going to Curves, it was difficult because of the arthritis in my hips but after a couple of weeks, it no longer bothered me. I missed all of last week because of snow and ice and being behind at work and guess what!!? The pain came back!
I had heard that exercise helped arthritis but found it hard to believe. It just seemed like little arthritis spurs would be aggrevated by exercise. Well, apparently it makes the muscles stronger and they cope with the arthritis better.
This is not exactly written like a medical paper, but sure 'nuff, exercise helps arthritis.
