Hi All,

I just stumbled upon this website while looking at som others. Loaded up my info and off I go! I would love to meet any others out there that are also dealing with mobility issues. I have a type of arthritis called Anklyosing Spondylitis. I am 43 and have had 4 hip replacements (3 on left and 1 on right). This limits my exercise options, I walk with a cane so any type of cardio isn't going to happen. I am 5'7" and weigh 197lbs. I am trying to loose 35lbs.

Feel free to add me, would love to hear from anyone as this is new for me.

Jayson

    What about a chair cardio? Livestrong has some good ideas, and YouTube videos to go over proper techniques, or a personal trainer. Good Luck!

    Hi Jayson, could you possibly do cardio with your arms? Google "magnetrainer".

    Thanks for the ideas, I shouldn' say no cardio.. I can do some limited, been using my Burn Machine and looking at getting some stretch bands. What I should have said was no jogging, etc. I will check out the mentioned items, thanks!
