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

That's a great question for the group.
Hello all of you who are trying, like @jlharsh & me, to stay as strong as you can - @slmremy @johncottingham @emil @millerdust @imallears @janet49 @joiful
Please tell us -
Once you get comfortable with a certain set of exercises, how do you figure out what to add to improve your fitness even more?
Where do you find safe, helpful exercises that are appropriate (we're not flexible 20 year olds)any more😁)
What is your favorite, use at home, low cost exercise device?

I'll start - I do squats & toe rises at the kitchen sink/counter while I work. Just not when I have a knife in my hand.
