I bet your incompetent doctor did not get you recovered enough to do this. And you're paying them for incompetence?
Send me hate mail on this: oc1dean@gmail.com. I'll print your complete statement with your name and my response in my blog. Or are you afraid to engage with my stroke-addled mind? Your patients need an explanation of why you didn't get them 100% recovered. NO EXCUSES! Have you created ANY rehab protocols(Not guidelines!) in the last 20 years? That answer will tell you the competence of your stroke medical 'professionals'!
A 5-Minute Workout Each Day Can Still Make a Huge Health Difference
New research adds to a mounting body of evidence showing that even a small amount of daily exercise can make a difference. In this study, just five minutes of strength training activity per day was found to have both physical and mental health benefits.
Led by a team from Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Australia, the study put 22 "sedentary but healthy" people through an eccentric training program, where bodyweight was used to build up strength. The exercises included chair squats, chair reclines, wall push-ups, and heel drops.
After four weeks of completing this exercise routine on most days, the group showed a significant average improvement in muscle strength, strength endurance, and flexibility, as well as a small drop in average post-exercise heart rate across the group (indicating better cardiovascular health). The participants also reported a boost to their mental health.
"The results highlighted that eccentric exercises are very effective in improving fitness," says ECU sports scientist Ken Nosaka.
Both the brief exercise time and the accessibility of the routines are important for people with hectic schedules, and the researchers suggest these exercises could be spread out through the day, making them easier to stick with.
Another bonus from the study: 83 percent of participants who were surveyed four weeks later said they had continued with the same or similar exercises. That's a win, considering how many of us don't put in the recommended amount of exercise (which generally speaking is at least 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity physical activity per week).
The researchers aren't saying these guidelines should be ignored – more exercise will mean more benefits – but that any amount of exercise we can fit in will give our physical and mental health a boost.
"The guidelines are for 150 minutes a week of exercise, but that figure can often discourage people, especially if they are just starting out," says Nosaka.
"Using five minutes a day as a starting point and building on that, would allow people to see more results."
