    Hi, Thanks for the tips, I had to use a walker after being critically ill with severe hypothyroidism. I find it hard to walk without the walker for any distance. I am trying the exercises and they help. Reducing time on PC also helps. But I cant walk far without the walker, I am aiming at removing the walker. I was just given all clear that the problem was not repiratory or lungs. The specialist thinks it is more the walker and that I need a few food exercises. Guess I could start with a few house block and work up from there. I have downhill to my east and uphill to my west and level to my south. Any more tips would be appreciated.

    I got very sick two years ago and lost an incredible amount of muscle. When I began walking to recover I realized I had that awful hunched posture. I had sticky notes all over the house at eye level reminding myeself to stand up straight😳. This video would have helped greatly to get back to where I am now and these exercises will really help to maintain my focus on healthy posture. Thanks for all of your content!

    A good alternative is to do the cobra move instead if you are unable to lift head...it is more of a stretch than an exercise when you do that. Best wishes.
