5. Wall Pushups

Although pushups are one of the best exercises, many arthritis patients would laugh at the idea of laying down on the floor to exercise. It can be difficult to get back up from such low ground, so try pushups with a twist and do them standing up. Find a flat wall and stand a little less than an arm's length away from it. Place your palms flat on the wall at shoulder height, and slowly lower yourself towards the wall. Push off to complete the exercise. Try to do at least 15 to start with, since they are a very low impact exercise.
