My mom keeps talking about ellipticals. I can’t imagine her actually using one. For one thing, her house is a cluttered mess right now, and even though it’s bigger than our house, there is no room for her to stick an exercise machine! On top of the mess, she has her own disabilities to think about. I could just see her hopping on one of those machines, and somehow twisting around or falling off and breaking a wrist, a foot or even a leg. Geez. My mom’s best bet is to not overextend herself and try to do what she really can’t, but to instead do what she can – walk, swim, use a stationery exercise bike, etc.
