Although some exercises, such as gymnastics or jogging, can strain your joints, light exercise is a great way to strengthen your joints and improve joint flexibility. You could walk, do light aerobics, practice yoga, go swimming, or do tai chi. Try to do range of motion stretches every day and do strengthening exercises, such as weight lifting, 3 times a week. If you sit or stand in the same position for a long period of time, try to move about every 15 minutes. This will prevent joint pain and improve your range of motion. For example, if you're curled up on the couch watching a movie, just stand up and stretch your shoulders, arms, legs, and ankles. You should also take a stretching break whenever your joints feel tired or tight and you've been stationary for a while. If you're in the habit of slumping over or slouching, you may be putting unnecessary pressure on your joints. To protect your neck, back, hips, and knees, imagine your body forming a straight line from your ears to your heels when you stand. Draw your shoulders back to bring your chest forward. To sit: Place a cushion behind your lower back for support and sit with your knees at a 90-degree angle. Remember to straighten your back and pull your shoulders back. Recognize that pushing yourself too hard can make your arthritis pain flare up. Instead, plan for physical activity and build short break times into it so you can balance the activity. For example, if you're going to swimming class, rest up properly the night before and don't be afraid to take a break during or after the session. Remember to go easy on yourself. Give yourself extra time to get places or accomplish things and realize that it's alright to stop and take a break. Carrying extra weight will put more stress on your joints and increase inflammation which can be painful. Consider working with your doctor to come up with a personalized diet and exercise plan to lose weight. You might notice that losing a few pounds will reduce pressure on your joints that causes swelling.

summary: Exercise to reduce pain and improve your range of movement. Take frequent movement breaks throughout the day. Practice good posture when you sit or stand. Pace physical movement with rest breaks. Try to lose weight if you're overweight.
