As an introduction
to any exercise routine,
it's important
to think of health and safety.
If you're worried
about starting a new exercise,
then your doctor
can give you a checkup
to make sure you'll benefit
from more activity
and reassure you
it's safe to do so.
If necessary,
your GP can also refer you
to see a physiotherapist
or other healthcare professional
who can advise you
about specific exercises.
The exercises on this website
have been created specifically
for people
with rheumatoid arthritis,
allowing for a broad spectrum
of abilities.
It's advisable to start
at a low intensity
and gradually build up
the amount you do.
It's good practice to warm up
before starting your activity.
Suitable footwear, ideally,
well fitting trainers
with a cushion sole
should be used for any exercises
involved in weight bearing.
