I'll try to make this as short as I can. Both myself and OH have quite bad arthritis in hips and knees, mainly hips. I had one hip replacement but wish I hadn't bothered, it's still as bad. Because of lockdown, we haven't been out at all, we used to do rock n roll but obviously can't any more. Anyway because we have put on so much weight we decided to try some exercise at home and I decided we would start with Leslie Sansone's 1 mile walk. The first one was difficult, can't raise my knees like they do so just did what I could but the second day was awful and next day I could hardly move, it was so painful. We couldn't do it a third day and haven't tried again, the pain really was terrible. I'm assuming this is for a number of reasons, age, I am 67 my OH 73, being overweight and the arthritis. Can anyone please suggest any exercises we can do that aren't going to cripple us again. We can't walk much so that's out of the question. So sorry for the long rant.
