Before You Start Exercising
- As you consider starting an exercise program, understand what is within your limits and what level of exercise is likely to give you results. Remember that when arthritis threatens to immobilize you, exercise keeps you moving.
- I recommend you to talk to your doctor about how exercise can fit into your current treatment plan. What types of exercises are best for you depends on your type of arthritis and which joints are involved. Your doctor or a physical therapist can work with you to find the best exercise plan to give you the most benefit with the least aggravation of your joint pain.

In short, exercise can help you improve your health and fitness without hurting your joints.

What a thorough post! This must have taken some time to put together. Well done! The pics are great too! Surprised there are no comments on this very insightful post.

Great post.
Its not just arthritic people who should exercise. Elderly folks should try to exercise to keep their bones healthy too.
Both my parents are approaching their mid-60¡¯s and are still as active as ever. They may not be as strong as they used to be, but they are keeping active each day.
