Hi y'all! I am relatively new and have about 10 pounds I would like to loose. I know it sounds like a small amount, but for me it's a big deal. I have Cerebral Palsy and use a walker to walk. So, this increase in weight is literally slowing me down! Also I am looking for exercises I can do. I basically have no balance so trendy things like Zumba are impossible since I can't move like that!
suggestions welcome!
Have a blessed night!

Is balance something you can learn with guidance, or is it out of the question entirely?
Can you swim or do water aerobics?
A recumbent bike doesn't require much balance because you are sitting down.
There are a lot of chair exercises, you can sit in a chair and wave your arms around, box, lift weights, etc.0 -
Hi and Welcome to MFP! I mainly just lurk on these board for info or recipes etc..but thought I say hey..iam in in Tx too..north of houston! My mom has MS and has trouble with mobilty too...she has done a ton of swimming and water excercises in the past and is now doing light weights in a gym and at home...or what about one of my go to faves, the recumbant ( sitting down) stationary bike...
Way to go, joining MFP is a great start to meeting your goal!0 -
Howdy neighbor! Not sure I can help with workout suggestions (with cerebral Palsy, I would recommend a trained therapist
) but am happy to do what I can for motivation and support. I have found MFP to be a great place with some good people and a lot great ideas.
