There is only one exercise 'machine' I can use without extreme negative results. The recumbent stepper......I love it! I get a full body work-out, very comfortably, with no strain on any joints or body. I can not use the recumbent bicycle, as the circular motion will damage my hips and put me in bed in a lot ot pain for several days. The stepper doesn't do that. Just want to mention as a good option. Blessings and Merry Christmas to you all! Elixabeth

also, add this to your exercise if you can. BTW: pretty bad joint/bone deterioration in both hands, wrists, so I apologize for typos. Also, it takes a lot to sit at my computer. at desk. I'm looking for a laptop, etc. I've mentioned on another site that the warm therapy pool is saving my life, giving me new life. My neurologist at Mayo prescribed 2X weekly 1 hour pool time at rehab. Pool temp is 94degrees. It's warmer than a bath, cooler than hot tub which is not good for my b.p. So, I spend an hour walking, squatting, moving in the pool and I have no pain.....i walk into the water, hurting like crazy, then no pain. my body, muscles and all, love this treatment. Highly recommend. Blessings. Elizabeth
