I am disabled in my back, and there are just very few exercises I can do as I just cannot stand for more than a couple of minutes. But I have found a couple things I'd like to share for others in the same boat. I bought exercise pedals for about $23. You pedal it like a bicycle, and it is just the pedals. So if yo u don't have the room for an exercise bike this is a really nice alternative. You can also put them up on a table to exercise your arms. Then a diabetes nurse gave me an exercise band. Some things I stand up for, but I can do just a couple minutes at a time, then I sit down and do exercises which are fine that way. Then I stand again and do other, or repeat, exercises. I don't get my 150 minutes in per week, but some is way better than none.
