Exercise for women with Cerebral Palsy?


I'm 27, 4'11", 109 lbs. I was born with spastic cerebral palsy, and while the muscles are naturally toned and contracted, I'd like to start a basic exercise routine that won't cause too much pain. I have sciatica in both legs, arthritis in my knees and ankles, and become easily fatigued. I've tried basic yoga poses, and have found that some of the more diffucult poses are incredibly painful. Any suggestions?

Do you have a pool? Or a YMCA you can join close buy. the best thing you can do is excercise in water. This will be very easy on the joints and give you better flexibility. Also if you can swim at all. Swimming is great. Anything in the water is better than the hard ground. The Y even has classess. Also excercises in a chair will be esier on you. sit in a chair while you lift weights. Hold each leg up for 10 seconds at a time if you can sitting in the chair. This puts less stress on your knees and joints.

You should try water aerobics. That should give you some light resistance without the risks of heavy movement or falls. Give it a shot, and good luck!

Try Aquatic Therapy.

Many people ask me how they can slim down. I recommend that people eat right and exercise. However, if they would like a little "help", I suggest using natural Hoodia (it's important to note that not all Hoodia works well, even if the bottle says "pure" or "standard").

The Hoodia sold at http://tinyurl.com/y389on is in my opinion the best Hoodia on the market. It's pure, has no side effects, and they give you a free 15 day sample (there is a $7.99 shipping and handling charge, but they also give you free recipe and diet guides). Fantastic results have been seen with this particular Hoodia.
