Another similar low impact, full-body, and meditative exercise physical therapists usually recommend for our patients/clients would be: aquatic therapy.
So in other words, you can take a dip in a community pool (or yours if you have one), just deep enough for the water to be collarbone level, and walk a few laps around the pool.
** You could definitely progress from there by:
• increasing the speed (brisk walk/jog)
• increasing the resistance (start with a small pair of dumb-bells with a reasonable + appropriate mount of weight)
• performing static exercises by standing on one position in the pool (jumping jacks, tai chi-esque movements, and half-squats as long as your head doesn’t submerge underwater for safety reasons).
Therapeutic aquatic exercise is so helpful & effective because water provides buoyancy, which reduces the stress on joints and supports body weight, making it ideal for rehabilitation and low-impact exercise.
The buoyancy of water allows for easier movement and reduces the impact on joints, which is beneficial for individuals with conditions such as arthritis or those recovering from injuries.
Additionally, the resistance experienced in water aids in muscle strengthening and endurance, while the viscosity of water provides a natural form of resistance that enhances muscle strength and endurance as movements are performed slowly and deliberately in all directions.
