Hi. I suffer from advanced Lupus. I am in constant pain and unable to walk or do any type of normal exercises. Does anyone have any suggestions for exercises within my limitations? Thanks

    Could you manage a desk pedal?

    Very gentle stretches? Maybe Tai Chi?

    What kind of movements can you tolerate pain?

    My suggestion would be to have this conversation with your medical professional, Doctor or Physical Therapist. Since you're "almost bedridden" I assume you have one, or both.

    You could take a look on youtube and see if there is anything on there you could do. They are all free.

    I love my mini pedal exercise 'bike'. I can use it on my arms or legs. It's allowed me to exercise on bedrest
