Who says you can't exercise if you have gout?

Mind and Body Exercises
In addition to aerobic activity and strength training, you may wish to include other forms of exercise in your physical activity program. Alternatives to traditional exercise provide variety and fun. They may also help reduce stress, increase muscular strength and flexibility, and increase energy levels. Examples of these exercises include:
o yoga
o Pilates
o tai chi
2. Keep Moving!
Move at your own pace while you enjoy some of these activities:
o Brisk walking
o Jogging
o Bicycling
o Swimming
o Aerobic exercise classes (step aerobics, kick boxing, high/low)
o Dancing (square dancing, salsa, African dance, swing)
o Playing sports (basketball, soccer)
