An alarming 50 million Americans are diagnosed with arthritis and by 2030, this number is expected to climb to 67 million. Arthritis is the leading cause for disability in the US with 19 million experiencing limited activity and 8 million experiencing loss of work.

In a study published online at Arthritis Care and Research, a journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the American College of Rheumatology, scientists found that those arthritis sufferers who exercised regularly had a significantly higher quality of life and continued better health.

"Given the projected high prevalence of arthritis in the U.S. interventions should address both physical health and mental health," concluded Dr. Furner. "Increasing physical activity, reducing co-morbidities, and increasing access to healthcare could improve the quality of life for adults with arthritis."

So if you are suffering from Arthritis pain and inflammation, what kind of exercise is right for you? The two most recommended forms of aerobic activities are walking and swimming. They are both low impact and easy on the joints. If you take an aquafit class, you will get both resistance training and cardio all in one. If you find walking difficult because you're unstable on your feet, try Nordic walking. With the aid of walking poles, Nordic walking is very popular among arthritis sufferers and older people who are not so steady on their feet.

Staying flexible is crucial for arthritic sufferers and engaging in some stretching or Yoga classes are both ideal ways to stay limber. Resistance training using resistance bands twice a week or more is a gentle way to keep the supporting muscles around your joints strong and supple.

Here are a few exercises that focus on flexibility and range of motion. These can be done with or without bands:

• Shoulders – start with your arms at your sides and bring them all the way up toward the ceiling. Continue as far behind your body as comfortable, making a huge circle. Repeat 10 – 20 times.
• Wrists – Make circles with your wrists, rotating your hands in both directions. Repeat 10 times in each direction.
• Ankles – While sitting comfortably in a chair, draw big circles in the air with your big toe. Repeat 10 times both clockwise and counterclockwise.
• Hips – Start by lying on your back on a firm, but comfortable surface. Your knees will be bent, and your feet flat on the floor, with your arms down by your sides. Bring one knee to your chest, slowly rotate the knee in an easy circle. Repeat 5 – 10 times with each knee.

Both Omega-3 and Nopal cactus juice has been shown to benefit both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. For those of you who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, studies have shown that it is an effective anti-inflammatory and can also reduce joint stiffness, swelling and pain.

Always check with your physician to make sure your body is ready to take on any type of workout. Once you have the okay, go ahead and get started. Not only will you improve your endurance, you will also help maintain normal movement, while increasing muscle flexibility and strength. Just work at your own pace starting slowly and be sure to take it one step at a time.
