This exercise has cardiovascular benefits and is great for balance. Step 1: Start by standing with your feet about shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides, and elbows bent so your hands are loosely fisted in front of your chest. Step 2: Imagine there is an invisible line between your feet. Start hopping with both feet at the same time, about a foot to the left and right of the imaginary line. Step 3: Hop for two minutes per set, and try to perform three sets. Although this exercise involves a slight hopping movement, it is well-tolerated by many individuals with arthritis, especially after warming up.
