A Short
Exercise Routine
Here are
five exercises for you that include:
- Two warm-up
exercises for the
shoulders and trunk
- Two strength
exercises that also work
coordination and balance
- One great stretch
for the upper body
Here
are the names of each exercise in case you want to write them down:
- Arms Up and Down Alternating
- Warms-up the shoulders joints and upper body muscles. Do 10-15 times
- Trunk Twists -
Warms-up the spine and trunk muscles. Back and forth about 10 times.
- Side Lunge
- A great leg strengthener that also challenges your balance. Do 10 for
each leg. Only step as far as you feel comfortable and use the chair if
you need to.
- Upper Cut Rotation Punch
- Works the entire body, but focuses the most on your arm and shoulder
muscles. Do 10 each arm. (Weights are optional)
- Interlaced Fingers Push Forward
- Stretches out the wrist, forearm, and upper back. Hold for 30-45
seconds.
Remember
to go at your own pace and breathe naturally. Watch the video through
again and give these exercises a try.
"I
have been using your Video #1 everyday for two weeks. For the first
time in almost 3 yrs. I have hope that my balance and coordination are
improving. I started off not being able to do everything on
the
DVD, but today I am standing more, have better balance and I look
forward to each morning to check my improvements that I continue to
make. I like how you have both a standing & sitting person,
your
voice is calm, supportive and you explain why each exercise is
important. Thank you and I'll keep you posted."
