Super. Thank you. I just completed this workout and no pain to my arthritic hip. Up till now I’ve not attempted weights but these exercises are ideal for me as I recognise the importance of maintaining bone and muscle strength.
I watch your cheery videos off and on. Many thanks - this one is the best cuz I can combine weights with the squats/knee-bends. Yr clients are such sports! Gratitude from India.
What would be your suggestion for holding a dumbbell type weight when the action and weight of gripping a dumbbell aggravates osteoarthritis in finger joints? Are wrist weights or glove weights OK, or are there other occupational therapy solutions?
It’s really hard to say reps and weights that would apply to everyone. For strength moves you’ll want to be around 8-12 reps and a weight threats challenging enough that by the last 1-2 reps it starts to feel pretty difficult. Hope that helps!
My doctor says I have muscle wasting due to Ra. Exercise is hard and comes with a lot of pain. I'm going to try this 3 days a week. Thanks and I will let you know if there is a change. God bless.
Hi Alyssa, great work! Love your videos. I am a 41 year old male, and have some experience with weight training. I was diagnosed with shoulder arthritis recently and then I stopped training. Would you be able to tell me how much weight is safe to lift if I want to start working out again?
Hi! Great video! I'm a 32-year-old male with spinal arthritis and joint deterioration (a lot of it due to being born prematurely and body not developing as it should). I'm trying to lose weight, and better my diet. Would you say these would be more ideal for helping with the joints and so on, or more prone to weight loss, or both? If not, do you have any that are good for weight loss exercises with arthritis, and how many sets of each exercise? Thanks for any help! :)
How many What weight can I get that looks similar to the one you're using what can I use at home I'm old & on a very strict budget. Can I ever get my arms back in shape when you're close to 70. Arthritis spreads?!
Use power bands, they are gentler. Try cutting plants out of your diet too, that can help alot. I have RA, lately the flares are so bad, the hands are the worst.
