Just a man standing in his living room? No! I've been disabled and barely able to walk safely since 09. I started trying to work out in May safety at home. I've only been able to use dumbbells while sitting. Today I'm halfway through my workout and haven't use a chair yet! In pain but I'm stoked!!!!
