People with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) often try to avoid leg pain by limiting physical activity. This leads to even more pain, tiredness, low stamina and poor heart health.

Studies show that participating in a supervised PAD exercise program helps lessen the amount of aching or cramping you have in your calves, butt or thighs when walking.
