Gout Or Not, Keeping Up A Good Exercise Routine Helps You
Live A Bigger, Better Life

Lets' get right to it . . . how much and how often do you Exercise?

It's all too common that if you have gout, you're over-weight. Do you need some weight-loss inspiration?

Whatever it takes to motivate you is great. Remember what the great American philosopher Michael Jordan always says; Just Do It

We could go deep on all the different things you could be doing or should be doing but let's keep it to a minimum for right now. Here are some different areas you might want to ponder:

• Range of Motion
• Strength
• Endurance
• Stretching

Keep those categories in mind but don't get obsessed! A very large and real contributing factor to why you have gout is because you're not in the habit.

Here is a recommendation: Walk. Just Walk.

Walk around the block, down the street, through the park, out in the field, up the hill, around the bend . . . whatever it takes! Just walk!

It will loosen you up, get the blood flowing, make you breathe better, help your digestion, think more clearly, sleep better . . . and bring down your uric acid levels.

Give yourself 15 to 20 minutes a couple times a day, or maybe 30 minutes once a day. It really isn't about how much or how hard you work yourself, it's more about just making the time and habit. When it becomes part of your standard routine, then you can pump it up.

It may take a few years to really get it locked in but we all have to start somewhere and we're all only getting older! Do It NOW!

As quick suggestion, what I've been doing for some excellent exercise is Yoga.

It builds a lot of strength and flexibility and really works all those joints that have gotten beat up by my gout over all these years.

There are a bunch of different kinds of Yoga, Anusara Yoga is the kind I do and you can find out more by clicking the link. But again, there are a lot of different styles of yoga, so get out there and Just Do It!
