I am really struggling with this now as well. Have gained a lot of weight as result which only perpetuates the cycle. I do the peloton. And try to lift weights but really misss running.

I have RA, which has basically destroyed one of my toes. I find exercises that bend my toes very painful, like lunges, so I modify and do step up instead.

Additionally, my joint pain improved the more I exercised. I guess it helps strengthen your muscles and ligaments which in turn reduce the stress on the joints. But I’m also on a biologic.

I ride my bike more instead of walking. Swimming is great exercise too. Was never a runner so can’t speak to it.
