Answer
Dear Ali,   You did not mention what TYPE of arthritis you both have, but exercise will NOT CURE either Rheumatoid Arthritis OR Osteoarthritis....  Both will get worse with progression of the disease (rheumatoid arthritis) or the wearing away of more cartiledge (osteoarthritis)....

It is good to exercise to a point, but you do not want to over do it and cause more damage or pain....  You should be asking your doctor for SAFE exercises and amount of time each week these should be done....

thank you,   karen
