Muscle and joint pain is a big concern when
it comes to fitness training. Go to any gym or
talk to any of your fitness friends and without
a doubt you'll hear complaints about shoulder
pain, knee pain, or whatever. There is probably
no greater obstacle to a persona fitness goals
than muscle and joint pain. You really don't
hear too much about this issue, perhaps
because it doesn't sell much products or
it just isn't cool, but if you're serious
about building muscle or just getting in shape
you really need to face the facts about muscle
and joint pain.

Reasons behind muscle and joint pain
The fact of the matter is, when it comes
to muscle and joint pain that more often
than not YOU are the cause. Check the
list below for common reasons that athletes
get bouts of muscle and joint pain.

• Insufficient warm up
• Heavy weights with low reps
• Workouts are too long
• Workout too often
• Not enough time off to allow recovery
• Improper form during workouts
• Not enough nutrients to support their workout
• A combination of some (or all) of the above

Now, keep this in mind.. It doesn't matter
if your 16 or 60, muscle and joint pain
will catch up to you if you are guilty
of some of the above reasons.

What kind of muscle and joint pain
problems are there?Arthritis: No, you
don't have to be 'old' to get arthritis.
There are two types; osteoarthritis
and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis
is the most common for people who
workout. This is simply caused by
wear and tear on the joints. The
cartilage between the bones becomes
rough causing friction and pain.

Bursitis: At the end of our joints
there is a small sack filled with
fluid called bursae. These sacks
cushion the joints against friction.
If these sacks become damaged
for whatever reason (see above)
you can get a chronic injury called
bursitis (I'm sure you've heard of this).
Most often found in the shoulders
or the elbows. This is an EXTREMELY
painful injury.

Tendonitis: The most common injury
for athletes, but luckily this is the
easiest to heal. This injury is simply
the tendons around your joint have
become inflamed due to overuse
and possible 'micro-injuries' When
you get this do not 'work through
the pain' as it can quickly become
a real problem and quite painful.

How can I prevent muscle and
joint pain?Take a good look at
the section up above about
'Reasons behind muscle and
joint pain' Does any of this look
familiar to you.

• If you spend 5 days a week in the gym, 3 hours a day this may be a problem.
• If you never warm up this could be a reason behind your muscle and joint pain'
• If you load up the bar with tons of weight and do three reps (barely) I think you really don't need to look any furthur for the reasons behind your muscle and joint pain.

Make sure you alternate
high weight/low rep weeks
with low weight/high rep weeks.
Also,, don't hesitate to take a
week off every two months to
allow your muscles and joints
to recover.

If you're not using Glucosamine
(a natural muscle and joint pain treatment)
then I suggest you look into this.
Not only can it reduce muscle
and joint pain but it'll reduce
swelling and inflamation as well.


What else can I use to reduce
muscle and joint pain?An obvious
thing to try is calcium, try taking a
good calcium & magnesium pill
every day. I would also suggest
taking natural Organic vitamin C
as well as it's a very important
nutrient when it comes to
connective tissue building.
Try taking a calcium & magnesium pill
with a glass of orange juice every morning.

Use Omega3 - Fish Oil to reduce
inflamation and muscle
and joint pain. Again, without getting
too technical the Omega3 Fish oil
contains an essential fatty acid
(essential means the body
can NOT produce it on it's own)
which has been shown effective
in reducing inflamation around the joints.

Glucosamine is widely accepted as
being one of the best natural products
available for the prevention of
muscle and joint pain as well
as cartilage degradation.

Conclusions about muscle and joint pain
It is absolutely essential that you
identify what may be causing your
muscle and joint pain and take
steps to correct it. More often than
not it is the activities of the person
himself that is causing the pain.

Use calcium & magnesium,
Natural Organic vitamin C and
a good glucosamine product to
reduce and even eliminate any
muscle and joint pain you may
be experiencing.

Don't let your own mistakes
side step your goals of building muscle
and getting in shape!
