Home improvement projects can be more intense than we anticipate. Summer is the peak season for home improvement, and you may have a few projects on your to-do list. Some may be simple one-day jobs; others may take several weekends to complete. No matter the scope of your projects, certain ones can take their toll on your body, including your joints.

Whether you're repairing a fence (or putting up a new one), painting the living room, or installing new shelves in the garage, you may move in ways your body isn't used to. You may also be active for more extended periods. This may strain your joints, but you can help protect them. Everything from chondroitin and glucosamine drinkables to protective gear can help.

Treat Every Project Like a Workout

Home improvement projects can involve a lot of physical activity. You can think of them as a workout. There can be a lot of lifting, pivoting, twisting, bending, and kneeling. Certain projects might even be more intense than the average gym workout. Throughout a project, you may ask a lot of your body and your joints.

So, why not treat every home improvement as a workout? Before you start a project, especially a physically demanding one, take time to warm up. This might include a few warm-up exercises and stretches. Warming up gets the muscles and joints ready for more intense motion. Stay hydrated (and replace electrolytes) and do some cool-down exercises after working.

Wear “Joint Safety” Gear

Depending on the project, you may wear safety gear, like eye protection and gloves, while you work. Safety gear can be just as important for your joints. First, consider the kind of project you're working on. Does it involve a lot of kneeling or bending at the knees? Wear knee pads or put down knee mats. These can help soften potential wear and tear on your knees.

Another piece of “joint safety” gear to consider is your shoes. Many home improvement projects may keep you on your feet for hours. Wearing comfortable, supportive closed-toed shoes can help protect several joint groups, from your feet to your knees and lower back. Supportive shoes may even help reduce discomfort after working for several hours.

Give Your Joints a Supportive Boost From the Inside

Another way to support and protect your joints is with supportive joint supplements. One example is a chondroitin and glucosamine drink. Joint drinks made with high-quality ingredients can make a noticeable difference in how your joints feel and respond to motion.

For example, a premium chondroitin and glucosamine drink may support joint flexibility. Supported joint flexibility can be crucial when working on a home improvement project and moving in ways your body doesn't usually. It may help reduce potential discomfort and injury during and after working. That way, you can get back to your project tomorrow!
