We usually ignore our joints till they start hurting after years of abuse. But you need to keep them strong and healthy irrespective of age and gender. The first thing here, f course, is to lose weight. This is because extra weight puts more pressure on your joints. This is particularly true for hip, ankle and knee joints. You also need to have a healthy diet so that you get the nutrients that will keep your joints healthy. But in addition to all this, you also need to be physically active to keep your joints flexible and strong. There are many exercises that can help you do this. Yoga is also a very good option as are some low-impact workouts. Or you can try out some stretches. Also Read - 5 times you can skip your workout without feeling guilty
