You've heard it said, "No pain, No Gain."
That is because the discipline it takes to exercise regularly is the Pain part. Exercise can feel good, and researchers at Stanford have suggested that vigorous exercise may help prevent joint and muscle pain. Yes prevent! In people 50+ years old, those who exercised regularly had pain-rating scores 25% lower than their sedentary peers, as well as a lower incidence of arthritis.
If you're not over 50 yet, don't worry, you will be soon enough!
This was noted in the journal, Arthritis Research and Therapy, 2005.
