Bed rest exercises?

I've been on moderate bed rest since PTL at 24wks - today at my 32wk apt my OB told me I could do small arm and leg exercises (as well as float in a pool so i'll prob do little kicks). I'm trying to research what exercises are safe but there doesn't seem to be much information. Does anyone else have permission to do this type of muscle conditioning and if so, what do you do? I know obviously nothing that requires me to flex my stomach muscles .... but i'm anxious to do something after being idle for 7wks. I also just read an article about muscle atrophy due to bed rest and it def wasn't reassuring...

    There's a video on YouTube if you search "bed rest exercises" that I was thinking of trying out. I just want to ask my doc about it first.
