I have made a commitment to daily movement . This consistent approach has resulted in decreases pain and fatigue. I am finding that snack size movements throughout the day are very beneficial. I have added weights to my routine twice a week and am happy to be feeling the benefits. I am most pleased that I have been able to get here without any major flares. I would say the consistency has allowed me to better know my body and fine tune my limitations & expectations. I reserve my outdoor walks for enjoyment with movement as a side effect.

Today I got moving with some gentle early morning stretches which helped my lethargy and stiffness. Have me more energy.

I've been having such stiff joints lately and now I start and end my day with a few simple stretches. Living with arthritis means I often wake up stiff, but I found out doing shoulder rolls and gentle neck stretches helps me loosen up and feel more relaxed. Over time, these small stretch breaks have made a big difference in how I move, I think I will continue to stretch regularly as it helps me feel more in control of my arthritis and encourages me to keep moving throughout the day.
