Knee arthritis can make every step feel risky, especially if you’re already dealing with back issues or a fusion. This article breaks down what a huge 2025 study found about the best exercises for knee arthritis and how to use low-impact cardio, strength, and balance work to move with more confidence.

Feeling weaker or more unsteady than you’d like, but not ready for a hardcore gym routine? This gentle, chair-and-counter workout helps you build strength, balance, and confidence in about 30 minutes. Perfect for home or HOA gyms, and friendly for sore backs, stiff joints, and anyone easing back into exercise.

Winter doesn’t have to be when your progress stalls. Yes, we move less, crave comfort food, and see the scale creep up—but that’s about habits, not a broken metabolism. With smart nutrition, consistent strength training, and daily movement, you can lose fat and build muscle all winter.

Most women are told to watch the scale, but after 40 there’s another number that may matter even more: grip strength. Researchers now use handgrip strength as a simple way to spot early muscle loss (sarcopenia), which is linked to falls, fractures, and loss of independence. For women in perimenopause and beyond, a quick grip test can reveal how fast your muscles are aging – and even give you a hint about how ready your body is to train on any given day.
