SIT on the Couch !!!!!
Hello to everyone and an apology for being a whole day late with this. Nearly twom dyas !
Happy October.!
Take a seat, sip a drink and let's chat.
Lots going on for me this week and a big day, Saturday, for Mr OF and I, as he has some further tests !
I need right now to be on top of things, physically and mentally... but sometimes it is really hard to stick to normal routines !
Annieapple 's posts have helped fuel an idea I have had for a while; what do we do, when illness, injury, incapacity, life issues or anything else, get in the way and make things hard. There may be balance issues, there may be injury to a lower limb problems with a prosthetic, ( read some of PeggySusi 's posts about her leg that made strange noises!!! ) , Yes, any number of reasons...
If we are well and truly, on the Couch... but wanting to keep our body strong, our stamina levels high and help keep our mind set positive what do we do?
Simply, we do, what we are able to...
So, some ideas for sitting On the Couch Exercise !
Cardiovascular and flexibility exercise, when we are chair bound, really can impact. Workout while you watch TV!
I often do hand and arm exercises when sitting, and am a real ankle rotator too... happy toes and sad toes too !
But we need more:
So, rather than ramble on here, I am going to post a few links... simply because they have photographs which can help,
I am, as many folk know, a huge fan of Body fit with Amy and have used the exercises she demonstrates in many situations... Short workouts, standing exercises only and chair exercises too !
There are a whole load on her site.... just type in and scroll around
Our own NHS
nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/s...
and
youtube.com/playlist?list=P...
and
bluecrossnc.com/blog/health...
Some on this link are slightly more tricky...
musclesquad.com/blogs/worko...
Okay... I think there are a few great ideas there...but on the site here already, if you take a look you will find some others.
The Tibetan Rites, on this forum, have a seated version too,, which I use, and am using now, CBDB and I are fans of the Rites! Do take a look!
Okay.... enough from me.
Your turn to share, have you, been on the Couch , literally have you found ways to stay strong... or do you just accept that you are unable to move and wait to feel better or to heal...?
Pleas share any ideas you have or any tips you have, for staying fit, whilst incapacitated!
Looking forward to seeing who may pop in and to hear your thoughts... !
