legs & arms - walking w/ a walker

The exercise I am introducing today works multiple parts of the body at the same time. It addresses my affected side & works my entire arm - shoulder, elbow, wrist & hand. It also addresses my ability to walk by increasing my gait and my ability to turn.

INSTRUCTIONS

1.    Work on a floor that is even, straight and “bump” free. (Be able to move about 50-60 feet each way.)

2.    Lift hands onto handles of walker.

3.    Again, walk 50-60 feet each way - keeping feet straight. Be sure to keep hand firmly on the walker handle.

4.    Turn carefully. Alternate turning left and right during the exercise.

5.    Walk each direction at least 5 times.

6.    Let hands come off handles of walker slowly to your side.
