Cancer can be a scary word, but it's more treatable than ever.

The short term effects are more warmed up joints and ligaments to make it easier to move and long term may be damage and stiffness depending on the impact levels of the exercises on the bones and joints. When doing exercise, joints and bones don't hurt during the exercise unless injured.

Some short terms of exercise might include being sore in the area where you have worked out. You should work out properly and not exceed your body's capabilities.

Positive effects of exercise on bones and joints:

There are various positive effects of exercise both long term and short term. With women, weight bearing exercise of the long bones of the arms and legs can actually improve the bone density and help prevent the development or progression of Osteoporosis, a bone weakening disorder caused by loss of bone tissue which can lead to spontaneous pathological bone fractures, etc.

Exercise will increase metabolism and burn excess calories to help maintain healthy weights and in turn prevent joint disease and damage from obesity.

Targeted exercises can eliminate pain and reduce the risk of damage to muscles of the back in persons with chronic back aches.

Exercises aimed at the muscles supporting the knee joints (e.g. "quadsets") are recommended to maintain strength and alignment of the joints especially in preparation for intermittent physical activities with high rates of injury such as skiing, weekend football, and other activities that put twisting force on the knee joints.
