    Exercise can be beneficial and will only wear you out if you do too much of it. Everyone is different in what they can manage and do, and we cannot advise you on such matters: well we can, but we probably shouldn't! Do some research on-line, ask your GP for advice, ring the helpline here, they may well have leaflets/information on exercise that they can send to you. DD

    morning Darren and DD

    DD is right you need to be careful with how much exxercise you do...
    Talk to your gp.. maybe they can do a referral to physio, who know teh limits on exercises and will be able to advise you properly..
    Let us know hoe you get on...

    Hi Darren

    We should all do some form of exercise to keep moving but I would not advise you what to do, because I do not know your medical history. I would ask your GP or ask the helplines today if you call them.

    I do stretching exercises every day, hula hoop, static bike, and ride my bike locally. Since having my knees replaced I enjoy walking too.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Hi darren

    there are exercises which you can get off tis site 9range of movement) which we should all try to do even at our worst as best we can.

    I think it's in the publications bit.
