Working with light weights and stretch bands will help you, but I think you should join a gym and be instructed by a professional, until you learn how to do it without injuring yourself. Good luck!

Thank you so much for replying and i wud love to join a gym, unfortunately I am housebound most of the time as I have no one to take me out as I use a wheelchair and my nearest gym is roughly 15miles from my small village I'm hoping something will turn up to get me out meeting pal but once again thank you so very much for takin the time to reply to me, have a good day

Thank you for reply but as i said I'm not overweight it's just i used to weigh less than 6stones so find my weight of just over 8stone uncomfortable for myself I also have the added problem of not being able to eat real food and rely on liquid substance drinks so it's a bit of a double whammy but thank you so much for trying to advise me on what's best I appreciate it greatly

I'd recommend to find a good personal trainer who can go to your house and have a couple of sessions with them. If you can afford, commit for long term with them, if not, just take a couple of sessions and ask for a program to follow once they teach you the basics. Whichever you choose will be a good investment in your own health. If you tell me where you live, I'll be able to recommend someone for you.
