Arthritis Knee Exercise

I got this email the other day about walking and exercise I'd like to share with you because it made me chuckle ... My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60. Now he's 97 years old and we don't know where he is.

Knee surgeries, including artificial knee replacements, have doubled over the past ten years. Injuries and arthritis are taking a toll.
