    1) Bone spurs can cause pain when they rub or press on nerves, ligaments or tissues in 10-20% of cases. Warming up before exercise and stretching after is important for those with bone spurs to warm muscles and lubricate joints. 2) Shoulder bone spurs can cause pain when lifting arms or engaging shoulder range of motion. Low-impact cardio like walking, biking, and elliptical are recommended while avoiding swimming until pain is resolved. 3) Spinal bone spurs compress nerves and cause pain. Low-impact activities like recumbent cycling, swimming, and elliptical are recommended while strengthening spine muscles.

    8, Impact of playing basketball on development of muscular indurance

    You can have a bone spur and never know it. These smooth growths at the ends of a bone, known in
    medicine as "osteophytes," only cause pain when they rub or press on nerves, ligaments or other
    tissues. This happens in 10 to 20 percent of cases, and when it does, you'll know it. Pain from bone
    spurs can limit your activities and makes keeping up with cardio conditioning a challenge. After the
    initial treatment of bone spur pain, which involves rest, ice, pain relief and often physical therapy,
    look to low-impact cardio exercises that avoid stressing the part of your body affected by the bone
    spur.

    The Importance of Warming Up and Stretching


    Everyone is advised to warm up before doing cardio, but this is even more vital for people with
    bone spurs. Five minutes of walking or doing your chosen activity at a low to medium intensity will
    get your blood circulating, warm up your muscles and lubricate your joints. Follow your cardio
    session by cooling down and stretching to restore flexibility to muscles and joints. You should also
    do specific stretch and strengthening exercises that target the affected joint in between your cardio
    sessions. A personal trainer or physical therapist can show you how to safely exercise with a bone
    spur.

    Shoulder Spurs
    Shoulder spurs become painful when they cause rotator cuff tendons to rub repeatedly across the
    bones of the shoulder blade and joint. This causes pain when you lift your arms or engage the
    shoulder's range of motion. People with shoulder bone spurs can participate in cardio activities that
    engage the lower body, including walking, stationary or recumbent biking and jogging. Use caution
    with elliptical or rowing machines to keep the shoulder movement within your range of comfort.
    Swimming should be avoided until the bone spur pain is completely resolved.

    Spinal and Neck Spurs


    Spinal bone spurs result from excessive vertebral movement due to degeneration of the disc and
    cartilage between the vertebrae. The bone spurs, formed in response to the body's efforts to stabilize
    the vertebrae, become painful when they compress the spinal nerves. If you have spinal bone spurs,
    you may need physical therapy to develop good posture and strengthen the muscles supporting the
    spine. People with spinal bone spurs should focus on low-impact cardio activities such as
    recumbent cycling, which supports the back during exercise, swimming and elliptical training.

    Heel Spurs and Plantar Fasciitis


    Heel spurs alone are rarely painful, but when the tough ligament or plantar fascia on the sole of the
    foot becomes tight and inflamed, even simple walking is nearly unbearable. It's essential to treat the
    pain through icing, rest and stretching. As the pain of plantar fasciitis resolves, you can resume low-
    impact cardio workouts. Swimming is excellent because the water supports your body and the
    kicking motions increase circulation in your feet and legs. Elliptical, rowing and recumbent and
    stationary cycling are also good choices. Walking becomes possible when the pain diminishes, but
    make sure your walking shoes provide proper support and cushioning to avoid a return of the
    inflammation.
