My mom has a variety of mobility problems, arthrits, austio, fybro..... Which combined have decreased her mobility for walking. She also is a (fat) diabetic, as the doc puts it.(needle dependant) She walks with a cane. She has no problem with pushing herself to do physical things. Sometimes pushes too much! lol I say that swimming would be great for her, because there is no hard impact and this gets all muscles moving, and some treadmill at the lowest speed. Then when she loses some of the weight to start getting into some strength training to get the good muscles working for the bad ones. Is this a good way to start out or does anyone have anything else that she could try?
