Jogging is not the same as walking as it requires more muscle for the added speed, up-and-down bouncing, deeper breathing and balancing. A learner to exercise should begin an exercise program with walking not jogging. The pace to make walking aerobic is greatly reduced for a person who is overweight, older or unfit. The best way to exercise lightly and rest, exercise gently and rest. This should be done until the body is more fit and the resting heart rate gradually decreases. Then the body will be ready to begin constant jogging but do not start before. Joggers, who want to get relief of arthritis from hand, wrist or ankle, then add weights that are light for them. Keep in mind that adding weight to the hands places stress at the elbow and shoulder joints so are little cautious. Adding weight to the ankles places stress at the knee and hip joints. People with arthritis or joint pain conditions should not use hand and ankle weights. People who move toward their arthritis proactively are likely to experience less pain, which increases their feelings of control over their illness. Since symptoms of diseases like arthritis or osteoarthritis joint pain, swelling, inflammation and stiffness, it impact on so many aspects of daily life, the more control the better.
