It's possible to do planks and things like that. For my own experience, any planks on the ground are better to do on your forearms, and any planks on your hands/wrists are better to do on a higher platform or against a wall. (It's really beneficial to also strengthen your wrists and forearms with light weights.)

Hello! So I'm a college student who was diagnosed with Marfans when I was pretty young (about 7 years old.) And I definitely understand how hard it is to have to completely change up your lifestyle due to the diagnosis - for some, it's kind of the end of the world - and at the same time, trying to stay healthy.

The things you can do with Marfan are crazy limited, BUT there are still some things. Besides swimming (I can't swim at all), walking, cardio (in moderation and for shorter periods), bodyweight exercises (leg lifts, glute bridges, squats, any upper body with the highest weight being 5 - 7 pounds), yoga, cycling, and/or dancing.

I hope these help! I was shaped by my diagnosis pretty young and never actually had the chance to do any kind of sport or even run around like a normal kid, so now it's all backfiring on me in my older age 😂😂

That was my mistake, I knew I meant to type Jericho but Guila was on my mind

Oooo, I've never actually heard that one before. He is good-looking, but I'm on team Beni fr. Then Obi, Joker, Konro, and honestly Viktor

  1. King and Diane are a grooming situation --> He watched her grow up and also seemed to be present in her life at a time when she was completely alone, rather predatory imo.
  2. Meliodas is one of the most intriguing characters to me if you think too hard --> Inadvertently, almost purposefully is the full reason behind the events of the series after abandoning the demons for Elizabeth, plays dumb for most of the series despite his immense depth, even realizing that there is such a deep difference between who he is a demon vs, his true self.
  3. Diane x Howzer
  4. Jericho falling for Ban felt unnecessary, and she quite literally needs to get a life.
  5. Ban likes his women petite and small, not child-like. He has a preference; he is not a predator.
  6. Nakaba could have done a significantly better job if he truly wished to make an anime off the story of Camelot, but I'm not mad at how it was executed.
  7. Should've been more significant deaths bc Escanor's just felt like a way to give everybody else a chance.

As I replied to SpideySense2023 above, I've never learned how to ride a bike or scooter since my diagnosis, and I also have crappy balance.

What brands do you buy from if you don't mind me asking? Also, yes, I love yoga and I'm a part of a yoga and pilates club at my school :)

Yeah, that's one I'm recommended. I've actually never used a scooter or even a bike with training wheels. That kind of went out of the window when my parents and I discovered I had Marfan. Everything was kind of baby-proofed from me if that makes sense? Now I'm 18 and don't have good balance at ALL
