Light exercise with a strained muscle?
The other day I strained a muscle on my side/abdomen. It hurts pretty bad and any kind of twisting movements are painful. I was wondering if anyone knew of any stretches or light exercises that I could do until my muscle is healed so that I do not gain the weight back during that time.
