Progress to this workout once you start feeling more stable on your feet. This 6-minute seated & standing workout releases tension in the back and stimulates muscles in the full body.
PHASE 1
This is the early stage of the recovery process. If you are in this phase, you may still be going through the active phase of the disease. You are feeling very weak & will probably need to sit down to do the exercises.
The goal in Phase 1 is to:
· Improve circulation to prevent blood clots from forming and support the
healing process
· Gently activate and stimulate your muscles and nervous system
· Do light stretches to prevent becoming overly tight
How to do the workouts?
· Check with your doctor first before you start these workouts.
· Move in a relaxed way. This will help release tightness, improve circulation
and give you better results faster.
· You may feel a slight burning sensation in the muscles. If you feel a sharp
pain: stop and go back to the position where it didn’t hurt.
· If you feel your symptoms are worsening during these workouts, stop
immediately. If the symptoms get worse after these workouts, make the
movements smaller and less forced. It is alright to take a break and come
back later or the next day. Every little bit of movement counts.
· Only do one of the Phase 1 suggested workouts per day. Phase 1 will last
about one month. If you need longer, that is alright as well. We all heal at a
different pace.
You are ready to move onto the longer workouts in Phase 2 once you start feeling less tired.
