Is this cording?

@eastmum I'm not good at doing the exercises, either.  I've found the best way is to incorporate them into a daily activity or to do a few when you're waiting for something.  So, if I go for a walk, I'll do them during the last 10 minutes (I may look like a dill to anyone driving past but who cares).  If I'm waiting for the kettle to boil, I'll do a couple then.  By the way, most of the exercise sheets suggest that you do 10 of each (or something similar).  At the clinic I go to, the physios have said to only do about 3 but hold each for much longer.  One of my favourite exercises (there's only about 3) at the oncology rehab programme I go to, is on the Reformer.  It involves laying on my back and pulling the trapeze bar past my nose until my arms are right back behind my head, and holding.  I usually find that the first one hurts like hell but it gets better after that and ends up feeling so good - it's all in the stretch.
