Over the Jubilee bank holidays we didn’t do much, just babysat and did family things, and when they were done we rested, as it can be both mentally and physically exhausting. Weather was pants too, which stopped a lot of play.

Managed a small sunset Drone flying session which was nice, though I was eaten alive by midgies. Found a small shelter, and the local deer were great company too.

But it’s Monday now (still a bank holiday) and I have a new set of exercises I want to keep tryimg out. (First tried Sunday) They are specifically for low mobility. So instead of trying to get up and off the floor, they use a chair and the wall. At the moment I’m just doing 1 set daily.

Sit to stand, but add 2 punches at the top X 10 reps
Wall Forearm plank 30 second hold
Standing against a Wall, Deadbugs and pulse a bit X 8 reps each side (I found out quickly I don’t have too much balance, and I can’t pulse it either, as instant flare up) so just standard movement for now.
Seated Lateral arm raise, palm facing up x 20 reps

Hoping these help overall, as I need toning and strengthening all over, while ultimately protecting shoulders, hands and knees. Exercise is so hard with Arthritis and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and yet vital to do as well. Catch 22. I felt the Deadbug was the hardest, even without the pulse action. I struggle to be steady on one foot, so I hold a side to steady myself.

  2. […] I’ve been doing the exercises I shared here previously, and I’ve upped them to 2 sets at a time. I modified the Deadbugs pulse, to an ordinary deadbug but against the wall. See the exercises Here […]
