Thank you, John!
I have been thinking about all sorts of activities.
My concern with yoga is my lack of core strength and my instability.
I suppose I can look on YouTube to find a program for people like me.
I have been getting into the pool.
I do all sorts of exercises.
I do the exercises I did in PT as well as swim laps, every other day.
I am also working on my stability in the pool.

Have a fantastic weekend!
Ronnie

I’ve been doing yoga for about 25 years and had to stop Vinyasa (flow) because of of worsening balance. Now I do Yin and Restorative types, which use props like bolsters and blocks. It requires very little standing but has lots of static stretching and meditative breathing. It’s fantastic. I am also trying to do more recumbent biking at The Y because it’s hard to get good cardio exercise with limited mobility.
BTW.. has anyone been diagnosed with CMT, Charcoal, Marie Tooth disease?

@grandmar If you're able to get on the floor, you can work on developing your core strength by doing a plank which is the simplest and most effective core strengthener there is. (Google for picture if you're not familiar with the plank)
