Yesterday I started to do exercises as I am stuck in a chair for an hour. I "march" my legs and move my arms at the same time. I do torso twists and flex my abs. I do about 20 of each then rest and then do another set. I do about 5/6 sets during the exchange. I'm hoping that this will help drain the solution out . Any thoughts on this? This should strengthen my core too.
