“ You May Not Be Improving In Your Fitness Goals Due To Your Arthritis! ” Beat Arthritis Pain
It is that time of year again when the warm weather influences you to achieve your fitness and health goals.

Your joints are filled with fluid and so are your muscles, ligaments and tendons. When the air temperature is colder, tissues tend to become tighter, drier and stiffer. This is especially true for extremities more exposed to the elements and away from the core of the body. Hands, shoulders, knees, hips and ankles are most susceptible. (continued inside)
