I had a stroke 6 months ago & would like to dip my toe back into the world of fitness, but it seems like most/all workouts are designed for people who can easily stand on both two feet with no balance issues & jump around, twist, stretch, bend like maniacs, etc.
I've also looked at "therapeutic" type videos, but they're usually very focused "exercises" with small/isolated movements for one body part only & not really "workouts" per se.
Doing housework from a wheelchair does provide a modicum of "sweat equity," but it's mostly upper body such as sweeping, vacuuming, breaking down cardboard boxes, etc. & really does little-to-nothing for the lower body or core, which is really what I need. I have some low-weight kettlebells & can do arm exercises with those, but, again, it does nothing toward retraining my lower body to walk again &/or regain some form of ambulatory function.
