My physiotherapist attributes weakness in my lower limbs to weakness in my abdominal muscles.
He did a thorough check up and has now recommended a few exercises - not few really but around 9 including weights.
They are not difficult but will induce pain when I get to them for the first time.
I am determined to have a go as I know physiotherapy is the best in these circumstances. I will go for weights only after I am through with the other exercises.
Just when I was enjoying life.................never mind

I do my own style of tai chi or just whatever you want to call it.
Good luck and its hard to stick with that kind of thing I know but maybe you can vary what you do to be able to get into a habit.

If it hurts too much then I would stop and would tell them where it hurts.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I have already been told to cut down time which is usually for 10 seconds if it hurts me and gradually increase.I will start with 5 seconds.

@pitstop I was relieved that it had nothing to do with my spine. Muscles can be taken care of.

You should enjoy the exercises once you start doing them.

I have already been given a list and would prefer to follow them. I will get back in a month to see how I have fared. I was made to do those exercises at the hospital to see if I am doing them right.

@allknowing I have done the exercises with my physiotherapist first. I needed several sessions when I had a problem with my right shoulder, and he also showed me other exercises to keep firm and elastic.

Pain is to be expected as I will be subjecting my limbs to movements which hitherto are new to them.

You should consult your doctor before starting your exercise.

@leny34 Yes it is important as your physiotherapist has to first examine you and suggest appropriate exercises.
