Best Forms Of Exercise For Joint Pain
Best low impact exercises for knee arthritis pain
On today’s #TBT episode of Live Lean TV, I’m answering a viewer question on what are the best forms of exercise for joint pain?
Before I share my quick thoughts, this is a post from our #TBT Q&A series.
Every Thursday, we will be uploading one #TBT question to our YouTube channel, from our old #LLTV Q&A series that I filmed in 2012.
Here is today’s viewer question:
What are the best exercises to do when you have knee arthritis or knee pain?
I received a few questions on the best type of low impact cardio for painful joints.
The number one thing you can do is get your body into the water.
The best examples of this are:
- Swimming pool exercises
- Water cardio
- Water aerobics
I posted a water cardio video here.
Workouts in the water can be very low impact on your joints.
This means you’re not going to experience the same pain in the water, that you potentially could experience from going for a run outside.
Even though you may see me doing a lot of jump squats and jump lunges in our workout videos, if you have bad joints, doing these exercises in the water can help.
Also biking can be very low impact on your joints, and so is pilates.
Ultimately, swimming will be a game changer for you.

So get your body in the water and reduce the impact on your joints.
However, I still want you lifting weights.
If you’re struggling with knee pain, I suggest you see a personal trainer in your gym, and ask them for a good low impact program for bad knees.
