Think you need hours to see the benefits of exercise? Think again. A daily 15-minute routine can improve your joint health, reduce stiffness, and boost overall well-being.
Here are some gentle workout ideas for arthritis:
Seated Exercises Perfect for those with limited mobility, seated exercises like leg lifts, arm stretches, and seated marches improve circulation and joint function.
Standing Pilates Focus on posture, balance, and core strength with gentle moves like heel raises and side leg lifts. These exercises support joint stability without adding strain.
Gentle Yoga Incorporate stretches like the cat-cow pose and seated spinal twists to enhance flexibility and relieve tension.
Resistance Band Workouts Resistance bands are an excellent tool for low-impact strength training, helping to build muscle around the joints for better support.
Walking in Place Even 15 minutes of light cardio can make a difference. Marching or stepping in place is easy on the joints and gets your heart rate up.
