 Studies have also shown that most active people had the same risk of arthritis as the non-active ones, both in terms of symptoms and x-ray abnormalities.  Arthritis happens when the cartilage that cushions the joints begins to wear and tear. The cartilage does not have its own blood supply, it has to depend on joint fluids for its nutrients. Exercise compresses joints, forcing more nutrient rich joint fluid into cartilage, thus making exercise good for joints.  A few things should be kept in mind when you develop exercise as a habit like warming up and cooling down with good stretching to protect your heart and joints. Good shoes and good technique will also avoid and musculoskeletal injuries. Simple precautions and general sense will make exercise safe for your joints.

 Exercise will benefit your joints and your health. Being active and exercising will help your joint get flexible and keep excess weight off your body, which will help prevent adding excess stress to your joints.  Exercise can sometimes have side effects, as there is a correlation between simple repetitive use of joint and developing arthritis, but if your joints do not hurt by the exercise you are doing, it is unlikely you are doing them any harm.  Exercise does not always cause harm to joints and moreover it has more to gain and less to lose.
