I don't have my strenght anymore, lost it with the first major attack which left me with partial paralysis. What do you do for exercising?

I do some PT when on the floor after using a chi-machine 3 x wk. I do some walking and light water aerobics in pool when possible couple times a week. When I'm in AZ in RV park I ride a 3-wheel bike few times a week; when in CO I ride an indoor stationary bike. I do these for 20 min. I have always done some form of excercise-if only the chi-machine for all the 20yrs of dx depending on disability at the time therefore, keeping muscle even tho I have little use of R leg due to foot drop and leg dragging.
Being on Tysabri and Fampridine SR (trial) has helped my disablity slow/reverse/halt! and I'm sure all the excercise has helped me do so well on these meds.
Best wishes,
Linda
