I saw my Rhumy this morning. She said the number 1 complaint with RA is fatigue, Recommended aerobic 20-30 min a day. I wish I had the time/energy. When I go hybrid I will have the opportunity to walk during lunch hour.
I am NOT trying to be a commercial, but if you have knee (or other problems-see website). This (expensive) sandal, has provided me with no cortisone shots for almost a year. Z-coil
