Physical activity can be an opportunity to participate in activities you enjoy, spend time with friends and family, get fresh air, improve strength, and maintain a healthy body weight. Additionally, being physically active as an older adult may improve your health and overall general quality of life.

Movement and exercise is one of the most important things you can do for your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing when suffering with arthritis. It is crucial because bones need strong muscles for support. Without exercise, supporting muscles weaken and add more strain and stress on your arthritic joints. Additionally, exercise is important as it helps manage weight, which directly impacts stress on joints and causes more pain.
