How should I design an exercise program if I have arthritis?
If you have arthritis, you need to participate in an exercise program. But what you want to do is pick an exercise program that you like, you're going to stick with, that is not going to hurt the joints. So in general, you don't want to be pounding your body weight through your joints. Bicycling or swimming, or doing a spinning course or a yoga program. These would be the type of exercise programs that I would pick for a patient that has arthritic joints.
