Dear Alice,
Weight loss guidelines for someone with limited to no mobility: They need to learn how to do muscle tensioning exercises, like they taught the astronauts back in the 1960s and 1970s. (I forgot the term for it, but it's similar to calisthenics.)
Dear Reader, The term for the exercises you mention is isometrics.
