QUESTION!!!!
I was wondering if anyone has tried water aerobics? That may have the
same effects as any other aerobic activity, I don't know. I too have
exausted the sources of activities because of my adhesions. I was
thinking about weight lifting or yoga? I know that these are not aerobic
but could it hurt?
