SImple exercises to get you moving again

 Isometric Exercise

When you have arthritis, it's also important to do exercises that can boost your muscle strength. Well-built muscles provide joint protection which is crucial if you are suffering from arthritis However, given your condition, you probably can't imagine yourself lifting heavy weights to increase your muscle mass. Fortunately, there are isometric exercises that you can do instead. For instance, to strengthen your shoulder muscles, you can do the isometric shoulder raise. Start by standing with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Slightly bend your knees as well. Holding a light dumbbell in each hand, slowly raise both arms away from your sides until they are parallel to the floor. Hold the position for at least 10 seconds before lowering your arms again. 

Walking and Other Aerobic Exercises
Cardio or aerobic exercises should also be incorporated in your workout routine. When you engage in aerobic exercises, your body's organs automatically begin to function more efficiently. This leads to improved endurance, stronger bones and muscles and better sleep. If you have been experiencing depression, stress or sleeping difficulty due to your arthritis, then aerobic exercises can help you address these problems. Walking is perhaps the simplest aerobic exercise that you can do. All you need are a good pair of walking shoes to get started. Other low-impact aerobic workouts that you can do are swimming, cycling or dancing.
