What is joint exercise?

Joint exercise is to rhythmically move the joints in order to train the muscles used to move the joints and also the muscles that protect the joints.

The lower body has three major joints, "Hip joint", "Knee joint" and "Ankle joint". These joints are very essential for walking. Joint disease is also ranked as the 5th leading cause of being bedridden.
