Default RLS vs RAS

O yeah...Doc & therapist says to move. Whenever I have a shut down, doc says to move so its off to the bike I go or if its really insane I mentally (vision) ride the bike until I can get up to physically move. I dont mean resistance biking or 30 minutes of sweat & cardio. 5-10 minutes to calm the spasming muscles. Balancing is key & what works one day doesnt mean it will work tomorrow.

As they have stated "Gotta keep the muscles tone so they dont atrophy & continued to spasm like all our other muscles." They are both in agreement of cardio, lower body strengthening *no upper arms except for swimming with no overhead strokes. It works for me at least. However, keeping calm is also the best thing with no repetitive exaspirations like keyboarding. hummm...
