3. Strengthening

Strengthening is crucial for helping your body deal with everything arthritis throws at it. If you have a base of strength in your muscles, dealing with some symptoms may be easier than if you don't train at all. Weight training is a form of strength training, and when done properly, it is hugely beneficial to the body. You don't have to go crazy "pumping iron" in pursuit of bulging muscles, but performing a strength-training workout 2-3 days a week can increase and maintain your muscle strength.
