10 Easy Arthritis Exercises for Daily Relief

8. Water Workout

Swimming is an excellent way to get a full-body workout. Best of all, it doesn't put the strain on your joints that land-based exercises involve. For those with significant joint pain, use a water-jogging belt, which helps you walk while suspended from the bottom of the pool. This will take away an enormous amount of pressure on the joints of the hips, knees, and ankles. If there is no belt available, simply walking from one side of the pool to the other at a relatively brisk pace will do as much for you as swimming laps. There are water aerobics classes you can take, held at most public pools, or a personal trainer can help you design a routine specific to your arthritis needs.
