You could always take up kick-boxing or weight-lifting. You may prefer a milder exercise and merely run round the block a few times till you pass out with the pain in your ankles (which is a lot better than passing out with a heart attack)

I’ll just stay here doing my very basic yoga stretches.

They increase my flexibility. Muscles aren’t static tissues. They move, they expand, they contract. The more flexible they are, the better range of motion you have and the less stress you’ll put on your joints doing normal activities.

Greet the Morning
1. Stand with both feet touching. Bring your hands together, palm to palm, at the heart. Make sure your weight is evenly distributed. Exhale.
2. Raise your arms upward. Slowly bend backward, stretching arms above the head. Relax your neck. Inhale.
3. Exhale while you slowly bend forward until your hands are in line with your feet, touching your head to your knees, if possible. Press your palms down, fingertips in line with toes (bend your knees if you have to), and touch the floor.

There you are, you’ve done your yoga stretches for the day
