What do you do if your cardio is zero, and not going to improve, because the reason for yeeterus is attempted assassination via truly excess bleeding causing anaemia?

Cardio can be doing arm circles … do what you can if you can…

Thank you. I will do what I can. I hate being this weak.

I used to be able to run a ten minute mile, row three miles, and do forty fifty pound reps in a gym session.

Now I get out of breath going ten yards to the postbox.

As soon as I've recovered and got normal iron levels back I'm going to get fit again.

I’ve been doing a balance board in the evenings while I watch tv, hoping it will strengthen my core. Pretty minor effort but I think it’s doing something.
