The Question
Expert Answers (1)
Please do not consider that since you can't walk you can't exercise. I just came back from a conference and we had a great demo on exercising in bed or chair. We just cranked up the music and did a Zumba routine. Essentially we moved our arms and legs to the best ability and had a great workout and lots of fun. It is all about getting the heart rate up and warming the core. Find some fun upbeat music and get those arms, legs twisting, and raising. Start slow and work your way up. Just have fun. Another great option is to take your arms and write out the alphabet with each arm. Then repeat with each foot and or leg.
The enhancement of blood flow will improve your overall health. Take care and enjoy all your new foods and recipes.
