Workouts

What workouts are you all doing? How many days a week do you exercise? What types of problems do you have with exercising from your disorder/disease?

    I am very limited as to what i can do, I do chair workouts, which I found for free on On demand, walk, do extra household chores, taking the steps instead of the elevator when I physically can, parking at the end of parking lots to get more distance in. I have to be careful, I walked 8.4 miles total yesterday and today I am saddled with water rushing sound in my ears, and severe headache and nausea, I am still trying t find a good balance, I try to push my self to much sometimes, what do you do?

    I try to do Pilates. (Blogilates) I can usually do the work outs for one day (with my hip popping out of place at least once) and then I have to skip a week of exercises because I am to sore to do them. I have tried to do one 15 minute session instead of the 5 or 6 15 minute sessions that it says on the calendar but I still get as sore. I want to walk more but I work in an office so not much walking(one one story too). I also have to wear ankle and knee braces for like 2 weeks if I walk to much in one day.

    I have hypermobile joints and am struggling to find exercises that don't risk sublixations/dislocations. People keep suggesting things like yoga and palates, but stretching is a no go. I'm going to try to get back to swimming, but is there anyone here with similar issues that works out at home? Thanks!

    I'm fortunate that mine is not severe enough to limit me a lot so I mostly do Taekwondo(second degree black belt) and walking. I have lost nearly 100 pounds with just CICO and these two things.
