Your exercise options are limited when you have bad Arthritis. Swimming is the type of exercise that is least stressful on the joints, since the water supports your weight. You don't have to swim rapidly, either, just float around at whatever level of activity suits you. The main way in which you can lose weight is by eating less calories, but swimming will also help, if you have a place in which to swim.
