Obviously meditative and surprisingly strengthening, yoga is one of the best workouts for arthritis sufferers, and could become your new favorite hobby. It helps eradicate anxiety and chronic stress (two by-products of arthritis), and can build important muscles around the joints for better stability.

One of the biggest advantages of yoga is the flexibility: you can modify postures in a number of ways to ease pressure or accommodate less range of motion, and the variations in classes keep it fun and interesting. There are many different types of yoga practices, but Hatha or Iyengar classes are good places to begin.
