I would confer first with your physician, and if he ok's you doing a routine at all, then find a personal trainer to guide you. I would not go with one of those 24 hr. kids with a bump on their arm wearing a shirt with trainer on the back of it either. :big_smile:

do as much physical therapy as your insurance will allow for...then continue with the typoes of exercies they had you do...my dad is making major strides since his stroke last year. good luck!
