Stregnth Training Question

Posts: 1,159 Member
Ive had 2 strokes and I have rehabilitated, but i still have a lot of weakness in my left side. Id like to start strength training, in addition to running on the elliptical but i have NO idea where to even start. I would have to start even slower than a beginner, so videos arent an option. Also, there is no local gym, and i cant afford a membership and an hour drive 5 days a week one way, so thats not an option. What can i do, and how? Thanks in Advance!

Yoga - is the way. If you do some of the 'harder' yoga DVD's, there is lots of strength training in there.
Great place to start0 -
