I think you're right that doing mat work with the heavy boot would be problematic. I'd be concerned about getting off balance with any floor work until you get the boot off.
Margaret's DVD has a short seated upper body that is classic Margaret and a longer set of lower body, but I didn't find it as useful as I'd hoped in the long run as my issue is bad knees and a lot of the lower body, especially the all-4s work, didn't work with knee pain. I thought I still had my copy but I can't find it right now. I've moved a couple of times recently and still haven't found all of my give-away DVDs. It is a lovely DVD that should work for your situation. Stott has a series of Armchair Pilates DVDs that I used when I injured a knee years ago. I've done a lot of studio Pilates in the past. There are 4, though Stott is phasing out user DVDs and I only see three on Amazon right now. They use light weights or bands. Search for Armchair Pilates as chair pilates will bring up the DVDs for the chair Pilates equipment. Also, Carol Sandry has a fairly recent 2-DVD Chair Pilates Set that I bought from Mary. One routine does have some work standing and holding onto the chair but it's not the bulk of the routine. Very nice set with brick and rough wood, well lit. And Nadia Narain has a 2-DVD set of Chair Yoga. I have an extra copy of the older DVD from that set if you want it. The new DVD, on the same set as Sandry's Pilates, only comes as a pair with the older one I already had. Sarah Starr has a whole series of chair yoga Happy Yoga DVDs, though it takes a while for them to arrive when bought from Amazon. They're in a lot of different outdoor locations. I only have one DVD with 2 workouts, so I'm not the expert on her stuff. When my bad knees act up and I need to do seated work one of my standbys is to do the first 18 minutes of the upper body section of Squeeze Stronger from Tracy Effinger in a chair. I go to the Upper Body chapter rather than the premix that starts with the baffling deadlifts warmup and stop when she moves on to waist work. I only find my range of motion impeded on one triceps move and not that much. I also have an extra copy of that if you'd like it. And I have a copy of Scott Coles Active Chair Workout I could send you. I don't think I ever did that one, just previewed and decided I never would. I think it does have some work done standing and holding onto the chair, but I'm not sure how much. I have problems with both knees and occasional foot issues, too. This stationary bike has been my savior during many times when I couldn't do other cardio. I have hundreds of miles on it, but I don't try to use it like a spin bike. I do leisurely knee-friendly rides to Ambient collection DVDs of lovely scenery. It's enough to keep me sorted when I'm having body or weather issues and a little break of peaceful mindfulness in my day so is now my most frequent form of cardio. I have this seat pad on it. Hope you find something that works for you.

When I tore my meniscus a year ago, I used resistance bands for lower body with this youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBZYQv01328
This one with dumbbells: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyn80z-LQNU Same channel as above but more of a cardio effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy4DN_9aHIw I eventually used my gliding disc too with some PT exercises. Good for you for getting back at it! |
