I'm getting very out of shape, lately. My lack of movement is causing an obvious lack of exercise, and that's leaving me exhausted quite a fair amount. Everything I can think of requires that I'm able to wiggle, and jiggle about. I mean, I guess that is kind of the point, but.. bloody hell!!! Best I've got is a little exercise pedal thing. That keeps my legs active during my sitting-about periods, but I'm trying to come up with something else I can do. Tried sit-ups for a bit, but that seemed to put a strain on my neck, and .. not sure that's a good thing!! What do you guys do to keep fit? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Unfortunately all i do to keep fit is walk to and from work and walk about at work. It doesn't seem to work too well though. I do have a rowing machine here though, it's handy for keeping my spare pillows and slippers on.

Exercise! What's that?  Actually I have real trouble with aerobic exercise so instead I bought some dumbells and do occasional weight training plus the plank exercise for back and neck. Maybe that would work for you? Important to do it properly with proper breathing, posture, etc. to avoid injury though. -=-=- blog | work | code | more code |

I'm in the Gym Daily. I spend an hour, it use to be four hours, on the elliptical. Some days I'm too exhausted to wake up on time. -=-=- DNA |

Here are some ab exercizes that I do. Mind you, they can be somewhat... demotivational, but then again, all abdominal workout is, because it's so damn hard (read: painful). Plank Lie face down on mat resting on the forearms, palms flat on the floor. Push off the floor, raising up onto toes and resting on the elbows. Keep your back flat, in a straight line from head to heels. Tilt your pelvis and contract your abdominals to prevent your rear end from sticking up in the air or sagging in the middle. Hold for 20 to 60 seconds, lower and repeat for 3-5 reps. The plank exercise ranked number 10 in the ACE study and is a great way to build endurance in both the abs and back, as well as the stabilizer muscles. This move is also great for building strength for pushups, an exercise that requires quite a bit of core strength. (You can obviously do this without a mat, but a mat will make it more comfortable) Below is a modified plank that you can start with - it's easier:  Crunch With a Heel Push Lie on your back with the knees bent and the hands gently cradling the head. Flex your feet and keep them flexed as your contract the abs, lifting the shoulder blades off the floor. Try not to pull on the neck with your hands, but lightly support your head. At the top of the crunch, press your heels into the floor while pressing your back against the mat and slightly raising the glutes off the floor. Lower and repeat for 1-3 sets of 12-16 reps. The crunch with a heel push looks like a traditional crunch, but in this version you push your heels into the floor, which engages the rectus abdominis muscles more than regular crunches. Reverse Crunch Lie on the floor and place hands on the floor or behind the head. Bring the knees in towards the chest until they're bent to 90 degrees, with feet together or crossed. Contract the abs to curl the hips off the floor, reaching the legs up towards the ceiling. Lower and repeat for 1-3 sets of 12-16 reps. It's a very small movement, so try to use your abs to lift your hips rather than swinging your legs and creating momentum. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

I tried thinking of more stuff, but unless you want to invest in a gym membership, I can't really think of anything that doesn't involve equipment.

Lots of suggestions, guys, but all requiring movement. I can't stress enough, just how little I can move without needing to throw up!!! Hopefully the Physio team can suggest a few exercises, to keep me more active :/ -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Plank doesn't require movement, it is a static exercize.

Plank where if you can hold it for 1 mins and if you do that. Well done Next Week try go for 1 mins and half but you got to learn breath as you go every 3 seconds to keep you going. Running up hill does reduce tummy guts if person do it 3 times week along with good diet! Good Luck
