5. Jan's suggestions about using exercise regimes designed for people with limited mobility

"This is the link to the aerobics (seated) video, the most 'safe' one I have come across for those with spinal damage. Or who can't do knee stressing exercises. You can modify to use 1kg dumbells to add the strengthening element, if it is safe for the individual to do so.
The music is awful, but you can just turn down the volume😁https://youtu.be/-Bu6YZlt60k"

"This is another one for those who don't cervical spinal problems, but who just have restrictions in movement or pain below waist level: https://youtu.be/tywMKg1vPMo"

These notes and links will be uploaded on our website, along with all the notes and links from all our past meetings.   

Our next meeting will be held at 9.30am on Wed Oct 30th at the Legend.
