My name is Virginia. I am disabled, walk with a walker, wanting to lose weight. I try to eat healthy, but sometimes fruits and vegetables cost too much and my family likes canned. I perfer frozen or fresh. What exercise can I do sitting. Mind you, I am not able to lift my legs while sitting. Please help. I am almost 50 and I WANT TO CHANGE MY LIFE AND WALK AGAIN. Thank you.
