I haven’t watched it, but about two months ago, I started writing my stationary bike, which has been collecting dust for three years. I worked up to an hour hour and a half every day or so. Some mornings I don’t feel like it and I noticed that correlated if I took the muscle relaxers at night for my cervical spine surgery, which wasn’t very successful. It was complicated. I walked twice a day, but when I added the hour hour and a half on the exercise bike all these dramatic changes have taken place for the good! I suggest you force yourself into an exercise program that works for you and give it a couple months. I was so angry at the fact I wasn’t ready for another Spine surgery and the pain management doctor didn’t want to do more Cortizone (because he didn’t get paid for more than four times a year) plus it’s not good for my body that there was nothing else left, but to express my anger through exercise. That worked out really well and now everything from my glaucoma to my lipid levels my pain levels everything has dropped. It started out with five minutes, and I worked myself up to 90 by doing things that entrusted me on the Internet and reading in the morning. I totally believe in joint replacement surgeries and spine surgeries. I’ve had great ones and not so great ones however, my orthopedic surgeon has now told me that if I have more surgeries, I won’t be more than 80%. What happens as you have good surgeries to correct deficits you’re also aging and degenerating more at the same time. It’s the classic hamster running in the hamster wheel.

I've noticed that when I walk my little dog longer distances, my pain seems to disappear as well.
Right now, with the recent lazar treatments, the pain isn't that "double-up and crawl in a corner." That is progress. It helps me do more physically without "whining."
I do my own housework. I have a cleaning lady once a month for the vacuuming, etc. I just keep reminding myself, there are worse things to have.

Have a great day!
