Chronic Pain and Exercise: How to modify your work-outs so you stay active, healthy and pain-free

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.

This article describes this process:

Committed to exercise, and using modifications, pain sufferers can also reap the benefits. (And Exercise is Medicine, so maybe one day they will not need those modifications because they may become pain-free!)

Although cancer rates have been steadily growing, there have been many reports lately that vitamin D deficiency is pervasive in the U.S. So, it's important to monitor how much sun we are getting.
For bone strength, and warding off certain types of cancer, experts recommend anywhere from 10-60 minutes of sun exposure each day.

Deep burns and repeat sunburns should be prevented. A little sun can be cancer-preventive, but too much, all at once, should be avoided for better health.
