Hi everyone. I'm Barbara and a Newbie. Does anyone has any suggestions for a low impact exercise routine. I have arthiritis in my knees and even walking for a period of time inflames my knee. I know my weight doesn't help but I really want to get started. Thanks.

Hi,
what about swimming? It's low impact, but is it any good with arthritis?

An Elliptical machine is a great low-impact exercise to get the heart rate up.0

An Elliptical has almost no impact on the knees because you never lift your feet off the surface. I definitely recommend it for your situation.0
