Exercises to Avoid with Osteoarthritis of the Knee or Hip

Posted on by

Exercises to Avoid with Osteoarthritis of the Knee or Hip include:

- Running and jogging. The difference between how much force goes through your joints jogging or running, as opposed to with walking, is sometimes more than 10-fold your whole body weight

- Jumping rope
- High-impact aerobics
- Any activity where, at any time, you have both feet off the ground at once, however briefly (basketball, jumping)

Fortunately, that leaves a lot of activities that are OK for people with knee and hip osteoarthritis and that can help keep you mobile - see the list at WebMD.
