Don't let a painful joint prevent you from exercising; try these joint-friendly options instead.

It's important to keep joints moving, even if you're dealing with pain from arthritis or an overuse injury. But sometimes you'll need to keep weight off a joint and rest it more than you usually would. Don't let a painful joint prevent you from exercising; try these joint-friendly options instead:

elliptical trainer
stationary bike (recumbent or upright)
tai chi
swimming, water aerobics, or water walking
rowing machine
short walks throughout the day, instead of a long walk.
