Most people at this age use exercise equipment for about a month. A better use of money would be an inexpensive silver sneakers gym membership where he can walk on the treadmill.

This should probably read MOST folks of any age, we need the diversion of an outing and seeing people.

Why can’t it be a membership through Silver Sneakers? Water aerobics is the only exercise that helps my aching joints.

Do not get a climber.

Concept 2 rower

A pool

Bike or elliptical. Depends on where the arthritis is and which movement feels better
