What exercises would you recommend for someone who is very overweight and cannot move around whole lot?

To lose weight and gradually start being able to do more strenuous exercised?

Ashley, My Mom is disabled to a chair, and she does her house cleaning from this chair, and she's overweight too.. Just since her injury from working for the firedepartment,, before she retired, right... well what Mom does, is leg lifts and bend overs when she's cleaning, and so forth.. And the only area she actually has a problem with now is her stomache, but that's only because she cant do any strenuous excercises that could effect the back of her neck, that's where her vertebrae's are injured from her fall at the fire dept. Many years ago.. In fact she's suppose to have surgery on her neck, but she's terrified to have it done, because it could leave her a Quad.. Totally diabled from the neck down... But, she does plenty, around her house just from a secretary chair, on wheels!! My mom's house is emaculately clean at all times!!! She's not lazy, just injured, you know.. So, I highly recommend that your friend just get to cleaning from a moveable chair, and do leg lifts little bit each day.. Arm lifts from sitting in her chair, leg lifts while lying in bed, as much as she's able too. Have her start doing a little bit a time, first then take a day or two break than do some more, and gradually do more and more, as time goes by.. And she will slowly see results eventually.. Trust me on this one.. Good Luck to the both of you, and this was very nice of you to inquire for her/him! Smile!!!
