“Exercise... It may also be the answer to preventing stiff, achy joints that can lead to debilitating arthritis.

And this:

“She said walking, swimming, yoga, tai chi and even some weight training were all great ways for older women to exercise after getting their doctors' approval.”

More activities and more exercise translate into more movement and less debilitating effects of arthritis. If one wants to engage in more activities it is recommended that one do a form of exercise that give one a measure of protection against injury.
