Study Reveals Most Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Don't Exercise Enough

RA often causes a lot of discomfort and pain because it weakens the joints. The only way to strengthen these joints is to put pressure on them through exercise. The most common weight bearing exercise is going for a walk at least once or twice a day. Running, hiking, jogging, or climbing stairs are also exercises that can help strengthen your joints. As an added bonus, these types of exercises tend to help RA patients lose weight, which can reduce the severity of their condition and put less stress on their muscles and joints.
