Have managed those Carole all except the last one.
 
And in No 6, I could touch the corner of the chair to the right, but thanks to an arthritic shoulder I can't reach on the right, boo hoo.  I never realised that the movement in my shoulder was effecting me like that.
 
I'll try again tomorrow.

Carole I've just had a bash and the only one I found hard to follow was No.3.  Just goes to show that you don't have to be super fit to exercise.
