Intro
Seated Stretching
Fingers stretching
I use a variety of household items to help me stretch and strengthen my fingers. You can also use things that have been especially designed such as Therapy Putty.
Standing Exercises (no equipment)
Floor Exercises
Fitball Exercises
Therapy Band Exercises

Exercise Equipment
A fit-ball is a great investment for anyone with Rheumatoid Arthritis wanting to do more in their work outs. It will allow you to do a lot more with less effort. I will explain more when I release the first exercise video. It’s a very inexpensive piece of equipment.
I also do a lot of suspension training. This is a great way to build muscle which aids with weight loss as well as strengthening. It’s an excellent substitute to lifting weights which is very taxing on the hands. I will also go through this in my program. I will of course give alternatives for those not wanting to invest in this.
If you’re wanting a little more intensity to build muscle, I can highly recommend resistance bands.
If you’re wanting to purchase any of these, you can get them from The Rheuma Mall for a much smaller price compared to retailers.
Nutrition
Exercise and Nutrition go hand in hand. If you want more information on nutrition and Rheumatoid Arthritis, check out my article here.
