I understand the whole weakness thing with the Chemo.....


You can do bodyweight squats and all of those other exercises.


Working with your own body weight is the safest way to exercise, try doing some push ups, if you cannot do a regular one, go on your knees and do as many as you can, then work your way up to a regular push up.

For another exercise that you can do safely at home that's not too strenuous on your body, try going down into a squatting position, and lift something that you feel you can safely and not too strenuously over your head, and stand up, keeping your back straight, this will work much of your core musculature and also your back, shoulders and legs.

You can start at a pace that's right for you, and it's safe and easy. When you're watching tv or folding laundry, during a commercial take the basket above your head and do some squats.


Lifting things doesn't mean you've gotta be macho, it's just good for you to do anyways.


PM me for more ideas, because I've got experience helping other people in situations such as yourself. I had to help a friend of mine who was morbidly obese to the point where he couldn't move properly, with my diet and workout advice he safely lost a lot of weight, he's still overweight but doing much better last I'd checked.





Now for the reality check portion of this. The women in videos, or in magazines bust their ass for their bodies, they lift heavy weights and don't fuck around with the little pink ones. They're genetically gifted, but they also bust their ass. I have a feeling asking for workout advice in the women's section would bring you a lot of advice using the word "tone".

Of course muscle "tone" is the residual tension your muscles maintain constantly, it's genetic and cannot be helped. In their relaxed state your muscles retain tension so if put under sudden stress they're not damaged.


Specifying everything about your situation better helps me come up with ideas to help you improve your physical fitness and health.
maxsuperdanks Reviewed by maxsuperdanks on . Hula Hoop=Exercise? I just read somewhere that five minutes "hula hooping" will really help work off those calories. Anyone here tried these or the "exercise hoops" I saw for sale? Does it work or not as far good exercise? Thanks in advance for any enlightenment. :) Happy Holidays ALL! :madnoel: :madnoel::madnoel: Rating: 5
