This layout where the "reply" button is far away from the previous/memory/share/track/next always confuses me for several seconds... silly brain.
Did my little bit tonight while I listened to the music from Dr Who At The Proms. Not very exercisey music (nice flowing orchestral TV-soundtrack music!) but my exercises are not very bouncy so it worked well.
Current list, in case anybody is interested, is this: Lying Swan Stretch (15 secs in elbows, 15 secs on hands) Lying Spinal Articulation bridge (10 reps) Swiss ball knee kicks (10 each leg) Lying Bent knee fall-out (10 each leg) Sitting Dumbell fly (with no weights though) (10) Lying punch upwards (4 sets of 15) Side lying knee-lift "clams" (10 each side) Sitting bicep curls (no weight) (10 each arm) Swiss ball pelvic circles (10 each way) Swiss ball knee lifts (10 each leg)
I am adding another exercise to the end approximately each day, depending on how I feel. Once I have the whole set of them (pre-organized with physiotherapist) being done each day I'll increase the reps slowly.
I know this list is teensy tiny compared to what most of you do (it's about 15 mins of exercise for me, BTW.) but I have spent basically a decade bedridden and I have just got healthy enough that I can walk around the house (eg walk to the bathroom! yay!) and do complicated things like sit up long enough to have a shower. I'm still needing about 22 hours a day lying down in bed. So yes, circumstances are relevant :). And I know lots of you here so I know you'll cheer appropriately for me!
