Not all exercises are created equal, especially when managing arthritis. The key is choosing low-impact activities that are easy on the joints while still effective.
Here are some tried-and-true options:
Water Aerobics Exercising in water reduces joint pressure while improving flexibility and strength.
Chair Yoga Adapt yoga poses to a seated position for a gentle yet impactful workout.
Walking A brisk walk on flat terrain is great for cardio fitness and joint mobility.
Pilates Focused on core strength and flexibility, Pilates offers joint-friendly exercises that improve posture and balance.
Resistance Band Training Build strength without straining your joints using elastic bands for controlled movements.
