Just as a possibly helpful datapoint. I have done PT where my starting point was standing, holding onto a table, for five seconds (seriously, my PT counted). That was all I could manage, because I'd been medically not-allowed-to-walk for a couple months.
At the time, I felt very embarrassed about this (who can't even stand?!?) but I have since learned that, hey, it actually happens pretty often. I was able to make tons of progress by working at the proper speed--5 seconds 3 times, and then more, and then pretty soon I was, well, OK, not capering about in a frolicksome fashion, but at least able to wander around, weeding my garden.
