When you suffer with chronic pain, exercise can be difficult. Exercise can leave you sore. If you have fibromyalgia, an autoimmune disorder, or myofascial pain syndrome, you already feel sore so often that you don't dare "risk" feeling sore after exercise.
However, we all know the importance of getting regular exercise. Some of the many benefits include:
* Weight Control
* Improved energy
* Better sleep
* Mood regulation
* Increased metabolism
* Boosts immune function
* Lowers risk for cancer
* Reduces heart disease
* Eases joint pain
* Relieves symptoms of arthritis
* Prevents illness
The list could go on. Obviously, exercise is a critical part of a healthy lifestyle. With modifications, chronic pain sufferers can exercise, too.
