Or, you can make the long one work to your advantage. Tied to a stationary object (I use a newel post) I can grab one end in each and and pull in a rowing motion. Or make a loop, slip both feet in and "walk" away (rather like walking in loose sand or wading in water)

I will have a look at it, it is now hidden from sight so I don't feel guilty, lazy, and unfit all the time 😹

Or, tie a knot in the center. Open a door and slip the knot on the other side and close the door on it. Then you have two shorter sections to use for bicep curls or straight-arm pull downs. (I don’t know what they’re actually called). @sueinmn I went to PT and got exercises assigned that continue to work. I’m wondering how to figure out what I can add on my own to help when I am ready to expand. How do you recognize what needs attention?i
