It depends on the degree of the arthritis and what joints are affected. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful but some people with arthritis can play tennis as long as they take an anti-inflamatory and others are crippled. The exercises will be different for a person with only the thumbs affected than they are for a person with bad knees.
The Arthritis Foundation has an exercise video specifically for people with arthritis and many people find exercising in water to be less painful.

These exercises result in improvement in bodily strength and mental attitude.
Walking is a good exercise for arthritis patient. It develops strength and makes the joints more mobile, while retaining health of the bones.
Running is good for people with mild arthritis. You can run on the soft surface, as it doesn’t give rise to osteoarthritis.
Yoga is the best choice for arthritis patients. It eases the pressure off the joints, reduces pain and relaxes muscles. It is a very good range-of-motion exercise due to slow movements performed under pressure while relaxing via deep breathing. But if your situation worsens, do yoga carefully and avoid putting excess pressure on the painful joints.
Cycling at low intensity can also be performed. You can alter the cycle as per your condition to make it easy on the joints.

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.
If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.
Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.
And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.
I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.
It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.
Today, I want to do the same for you!

It also depends on the kind of arthritis, but one that is supposed to be good is exercise in water if there is a pool close by. Water is supposed to be much more gentle on the joints than on hard surface.
I would recommend checking with the patient's dr to see what they think.

Swim! Water aerobics, doing laps or just having fun is great for people with arthritis. Low/no impact, great range of motion and enough resistance to build muscle but not strain joints.
