What type of exercise can I do if I have osteoarthritis?

If you have osteoarthritis or old joint injuries, activities such as basketball, court sports, and the like might not be a good choice because the abrupt stops and starts during play could inflame tender joints. Running might also aggravate knee problems, and tennis can irritate shoulders and elbows (walking, swimming, and cycling are all relatively safe for the joints). This doesn't mean you should automatically exclude any of these activities from your list of possibilities; if you think you might like tennis despite a tender shoulder, give it a try and see how your body reacts.

Women with osteoporosis will want to be especially careful in choosing activities that won't overstress weakened bones. Low-impact aerobics, exercise classes in water, and walking are ideal. Light weight training is very effective in preserving bone mineral density, and there is good evidence that such training can even reverse the course of the disease.

However, weight training should be approached with extreme caution if severe osteoporosis has already developed, and you'll want to check with your physician before taking it up. You may also want to be cautious about undertaking any activities that increase the risk of falls.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
