1. Low-impact Cardio/Aerobic Exercises
Cardiovascular exercise will help boost your lung function and your body's ability to use oxygen to metabolise acid in the body. Most aerobic exercises will also strengthen the lower body muscles. Choose low impact aerobic exercises such as fitness walking, stair climbing or dance exercise. Start with 10 minutes every day and add a few minutes each day. Your goal is 30 to 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week.2. Swimming
Swimming and water aerobics are a great way to increase mobility and the functioning of the joints. When you are moving in water, there is less stress on your joints. You should start slowly and then gradually increase the time you spend swimming. It is vital to remember that speed and distance are not as important as the amount of time you spend swimming. Build up a regular routine by swimming two days per week for 15 minutes. Eventually you should aim to swim for 30 to 45 minutes.Stretching
3. Wrists Make a fist with your hand. Roll your wrists both clockwise and anti clockwise for 30 seconds each.
4. Shoulders Place your hands by your side and roll your shoulders forward for 30 seconds and then roll them backward for another 30 seconds.
5. Back and hamstrings Sit on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you then reach forward to touch your toes. Hold for about 15 seconds and try 3 more times.
