As we get older we often notice that our knees are not feeling as supple and pain free as they used to. There are many reasons why they can feel creaky and sore. Arthritis is one of the main reasons and can be very debilitating. Whether it is osteo or rheumatoid arthritis, it is going to affect how your joint continues to function. Unless advised to not do any exercise, the best thing you can do is keep moving. Exercise all of the muscle groups that support the knees so that the knees are stable and working well at all times.

I have come across a great article in Web MD, on 27 January 2021 that gives a list of 8 exercises you can do at home to help support those knees. You should be familiar with them all as we have done all of them at some time in our classes. Some have been adapted to account for no machines, but the end result has been a focus on the muscles of the legs and your butt to help keep the knees supported.
