Joint - Friendly Workouts for Arthritis Warriors

Staying active with joint pain requires a thoughtful approach. Here’s how you can keep moving without stressing your joints:

• Gentle Exercises: Opt for activities that are kind to your joints. Brisk walks, cycling, and swimming are excellent choices.
• Time Commitment: Aim for around 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity activities. If you’re up for it, you can go for 75 minutes of more intense aerobics.
• Strength and Balance: Incorporate muscle-strengthening exercises into your routine. Also, try balance-boosting moves like the classic one-foot stand. Do these at least twice a week.
• Listen to Your Body: Start at a comfortable pace. Pay attention to how your body responds during and after exercise. If you feel discomfort, it’s okay to dial it back a bit.

The key is to keep moving while being mindful of your precious joints.
