Water Exercises Exercising in water is ideal for most people with osteoarthritis because the water provides both buoyancy and resistance. Buoyancy translates into less stress on your joints. At the same time, your muscles work harder to move your body against the resistance of water. Most osteoarthritis patients who swim or participate in an aquatic program find exercising less painful and easier than it is on land. If you enjoy group exercise, you may wish to enroll in an aquatic exercise class through your local YMCA or fitness center.
Some colleges offer aquatic exercise classes, as well.
