Found nice seated walking for rehab.

I have been out of the hospital now for about a week. I will be doing rehab at home. The balance is between allowing my body to heal and the need to move my muscles for flexibility and heart health. Part of me has to take it easy. But the reality is I still need to move.

I was on YouTube and I typed in seated walking for seniors and I came across a video of seated walking and I thought I'd give it a go. It was 30 minutes and it included upper body and lower body exercises.

I got one of my wooden chairs and I did the routine. I paid attention to how my body feels and I also was patient in how much I was stretching my body. I wasn't exactly trying to do the same thing that the person in the video was doing because my flexibility right now is very tight.

I kept up with the pace and a few times I was paying attention more to the movement than I was the pace. Afterwards, I did strength training with my bands. Earlier using my counter, I did push-ups, dips, and lunges. Adding up the minutes I did about 45 minutes plus extra stretching.

Throughout the day, I got up and did walking in my walker to continue strengthening my injured leg and bear weight. By all means keep walking
