I had to retire almost 3 years ago due to health reasons,bad back,knees,nsulin pump and etc.ostlywhat I have done is sit in front of my computer since there isn't a lot of physical activity I can do.About 3 months ago I joined the local You-Fit gym and I work out fairley hard and I'm seeing positive results already like lower blood sugars and return of muscle mass.I'm not looking to bulk up,merely strength and some definition.I know there are a ot of guys in my age range who have grown soft and flabby but I intend to go down fighting.

hey peg, i have a client that sells recumbat trikes.  Like number one dealer in the nation.   i know they just set one up for a amputee.  They also have hand crank models.  I will pm you the info.

Share the Link/Info if you can TAB.  I know I'd be interested.  Us older folks don't have quite the balance we did when we were young punks...and a tumble is much more risky as you age.

Hey Peg, have you tried a rowing machine?

ROwing machines are my favorite "machine"   you can do cardio or crank up the resistance and work your arms and legs( not as much)   you can even change you grip and hit diffrent parts of the muscle group.    sadly they are not great if you have knees like mine after 25 years of wrestling.

When I was going through physical therapy, I tried a rowing machine, but my left knee only has about 20 degrees for range of motion, and would not allow full rowing motion.....which is the same result I get on an elliptical and stationary bike.
The only two aerobic machines I could use at the therapist was an upper-body stationary cycle and cross-trainer machine that mimicked skiing while sitting down.

They make table-top mounted upper-body resistance cycles that are relatively inexpensive, so I may try one of those just to get started into it again.

Some of the better rowing machines have a feature that allows you to lock the seat in place.  If you do that, you can take the legs out of the equation and just use upper body (back and arms).

If you haven't tried it yet, you could also take the bad leg off and just strap your good leg into the foot pad for a full body workout that way.

I have a friend with a rowing machine for sale.... I might just check to see if the seat locks.....
