Weight training and aerobic exercise such as dancing or swimming are great for elders with
Arthritis. Alongside strengthening valuable muscles that stabilize
arthritic joints, exercise helps maintain a sleek figure which reduces strain on knees and hips and prevents
surgery. If you're an active
elderly adult and your knees give you trouble, try doing repetitions of squats and straight leg lifts. These exercises, recommended by
New York Times support the muscles around the knees, reducing the weight they bear.
