I have Arnold Chiari Malformation and had an operation 4 months ago - i an now building my fitness back up and i want to shift the 32lb i have but on with being immobile.
I cannot do anything too strenuous (cant jog or do sports or dancing)
Has any one any ideas of what i can do to fit in with using my cross trainer and excersise ball (im doing shallow sit up on it and balance/core building) or any excersises i can add to what i do

Assuming you had a physical therapist for post surgery rehab, did you ask them what you should/can do?

neck excersises is what they have given me as thats where my surgery was, they reccomended the ball too to build my core strength back up,,,,,0

I'm not familiar with the condition so I'm not sure what would be safe to do. Have you been completely cleared for physical activity by them, meaning no restrictions?0
-
You could do lots of planks. Those should be safe. You may want to start them without the stability ball and work your up to that if you are in a de-trained condition.0
