Excellent, I go through thousands of books a month, this will definitely help me. Just gotta find one of those mobility balls. I used a tennis ball for the foot one but looks like a smaller one would be better for the hands.
Power Rangers for the WIN. I still remember this as if it were yesterday.
Yea, for this one you really do need a smaller ball so you can focus it better.
I don't have one of them, but I may have a rubber ball cat toy lying around somewhere LOL!
Haha, that'll work just fine! As long as the cat doesn't come and take it back forcefully :D
Haha, ya it sits there for weeks ignored, but as soon as I play with it, it's suddenly your favorite toy!
That's always the case isn't. Greedy animals <3

These exercises are great tips, I have tried the one for knees twice, feels good this far.
You are great, thanks!
Oh yes, most definitely! Got to keep those hands lose!
Glad it's working so far!
