This video does not represent the type of exercises I do but it is similar to the low energy ones which my biokineticist Dalena designed for me now that I cannot go to gym as my cancer treatment can affect my heart. Yes I know this video is for seniors but that is kinda the level I am on now and really think anyone can benefit from what is shown here.

cancer and biokinetics
Felt invigorated because went to see Dalena, my brilliant biokineticist who helped me with my knee when my kneecap went out of alignment. Was still busy with the treatment but now, being banned from gym 'cos my chemo can affect the heart, no longer able to work on that little hassle.
Anyway, Dalena gave me a lot of brilliant low-energy exercises which I now plan to do three to four times a week, even if I make only 10 minutes at a time. For example, instead of standing and bending one knee to one's back as a stretch, she advocates doing it kneeling. "Less energy," she said.
She also feels yoga will be best, as it is all about "opening up", she said, but we agreed not sure I will make a full class. Planning on going next week.
Meanwhile, still have my hair but suffering other fairly debilitating side-effects but at this moment, am fine.
