Thanks Shawn! This is the way I started a couple of months ago. I am in process of healing two slipped discs and when I started I couldn't stand up for more than a couple of minutes and couldn't sit straight either. I started by laying flat on my bed and moving as best I could. When I could do all the movements laying down, I started some of them sitting, etc.. I can now do most sitting and a few standing.

I am confident that eventually I will be able to do the full active exercise (level 1) standing as long as I keep with the program.
