Exercises standing up, try it, it's good and not that expensive, i got mine on line , think it was amazon not sure, but you could probably get it anywhere, good luck...sending you gentle hugs....Dee x

Hi wildwoman

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you can be today? My GP told me she wasn't going to send me to physio as she didn't believe I was physically able to do so and that it would not be conducive to my well-being at this time.

I was wondering if you have spoken to your GP about this? As it may be worth discussing it with them prior to starting any exercise regime no matter how gentle it is?

Good luck and please keep us up to date with any exercises that you undertake as it could be very useful for all of us?

Take care

Hi ken , how r u, still scoffing biscuits? My gp isn,t really that good on exercise, but I do know how it works, ex physio and yoga teacher! Thank you for your concern though, keep well and warm xx

Hi wildwoman

I really hope that you have found what you were looking for? I did find more biscuits. I am so embarrassed as I ate a whole packet of Bourbon Creams with my cup of tea last night. I am lactose and gluten intolerant so I should not have them at all. So I replaced them with coconut rings today!

Hope that you are feeling as well as you can be today?

Hi ken, oh dear, I could reproach you if I wasn't so bad. I got chocolates for valentine,s day, which are almost gone, but it was a small box in my defence! I bet you,re one of the lucky ones who doesn,t put on weight? Xx

Hi wildwoman

I sincerely hope that you are as well today as you can be? My weight fluctuates rapidly. I am just under eleven and half stone, so I am a little underweight. My friends hate it because I can whatever I want. I think my meds cause more weight gain than anything?

Take care my friend

If you have Sky TV there is a channel, can't remember what number, I think it's the fitness channel, that does chairobics. The young man does the exercises alongside an elderly lady and they're quite gentle. And it's a whole body thing. I've done them a few times now. I tried Leanne's DVD and I was very disappointed. I felt it was more for the upper body rather than a whole body workout.

[wildwoman in reply to sue32]

Thanx sue, that sounds really useful. I,ll let you know how I get on. If the name of the channel comes to you can you let me know please.? Xxxxxx

[wildwoman]

Hi again sue, I,ve found the channel and found some on u tube, thanks! Xxx

[sue32 in reply to wildwoman]

Great!!!! It's not on every day, I don't think, but I do hope you try it, I think it's one of the best I've ever tried. I don't do it all the time, just when I feel like it!! Good luck!!

I do this 6 minute Yoga thing every morning. I don't look anything like the lovely lady in the video, in fact mostly my downward facing dog looks like I fell over drunk in a park. BUT I may have to bend my legs to reach my toes and only bend slightly but my God does it make a difference. Plus, because it's really short I can grin and bare it on the tough days. It's Jan Hillman -

I know what you mean about the Lyrica, I'm trying to do weight watchers, it's nuts!

Hi jigwam, thank you so much for the link, really useful, I,ll have a go. I think my downward dog will slink off into its basket! Keep smiling (even if it's at the floor ,cos you can't get up!) xxx
