What are you all doing for exercise?
DH and I have been walking, with our two dogs, for about 2 months now. It took me along time after surgery, the pneumonia and the knee surgery, to be able to get out and walk. Last weekend we joined a gym so I can start weight training, I've lost so much muscle mass that I have trouble opening some doors now. At my PCP's office, her front doors form a pretty tight seal and sometimes I just don't have the umph to get the open. Also a couple of weeks ago I went to the floor with a watermelon I had picked up but couldn't hang on to. Got home, weighed it, 25 lbs!!! I was just crest fallen!!! What a WIMP!! So now I have to work real hard to get them back. Anyway, I work out 3 times a week with LIGHT weights on the machines, do 25 minutes of cardio. Then everyother day I water walk and do exercise in the pool for my lower body. At the gym they won't let me work out my lower body on the machines, they're too afraid of my knee blowing. So I'm banished to the pool for that.
I know...I know...more info than you wanted...
