Lower-impact exercises are best

If arthritis is centered in the
hips or knees, climbing activities like stair-step machines should be limited so that excess
strain is not placed on the hip or knee joints
...
High-impact exercises like jogging should be avoided due to the increased stress it puts on
joints
...
If there is significant pain after exercising, the exercise that caused the pain should be
stopped

The benefits of regular activity will soon show in reduced pain and better overall health

A common symptom of osteoarthritis is pain after activity, which may make you not
want to exercise

about using assistive devices, such as splints or braces, for a short time to protect your
joints
