When you have aching joints the last thing you want to do is exercise, but The Journal of Rheumatology found that walking can actually ease sore joints.
Just a two-minute walk, several times a day, can ease your chronic pain by 55 percent, and reduce future muscle and joint pain. One University of Nottingham study explains that this simple exercise allows nutrient-rich blood to flow to the muscles, which helps diminish pain-triggering inflammations.
