Gym Is Open (Wednesday)

Sorry for the late post...crazy busy day for me. I did a 3 mile walk last night. This morning at the gym I did: SB Reverse Crunch 3 x 15 Stability Ball Weighted Oblique Crunch 3 x 10 each Stability Ball DB Chest Press 3 x 8 Stability Ball DB Pull Over 3 x 8 SB DB Fly 2 x 10 Lat Pull Down Wide Grip 2 x 10 Cable Biceps Curls 2 x 10 V Grip Cable Triceps Extension 2 x 10 For cardio I did 25 minutes on the treadmill. I'm going to try and fit in an evening walk. What did you do to move your body today? Lori

Hi Lori! Today I swam 16 lengths (400 metres) and did a 45 minute aquafit class. Could tell I hadn't been to the gym since Friday. Have a good day. Heather

Tonight was week 8 of my 10 week pre-surgery classes. I decided to leave the wheelchair at home since I can walk short distances, so rather than take the accessible van service, I was able to ride in the back seat of our car. Showing up in the car without the wheelchair really made quite an entrance -- all my classmates and my teacher were very excited that I could walk and not need the wheelchair. I enjoyed getting all the supportive comments! Oh, in addition to my walking around at the clinic, I also did 1.03 miles on the armbike. My carpal tunnel is bothering me a bit this evening, so I'll wear my wrist brace tonight. It should feel better by tomorrow. Kix

Kix, How fantastic for you! There will be a day that you totally leave that wheelchair behind!!!! Woohoo for you! I'm impressed that your surgery center has a 10 week pre-surgery class! Sounds like they care about their patient's success! Lori

Hi Lori, I did 45 minutes on the gazelle tonight while watching Lost. Diana

I am afraid I did nothing today. I fell out of my chair at work today and landed square on my tail bone. LOL! It hurts but I had the whole office rolling in the ilses. On top of that I was wearing a differant pair of shoes today, and they hurt all day, it felt like I had a rock in the toe of the shoe.. I get home tonight and I have a HUGE blister under the middle toe. Ouch! Between my toe and tail I do not know which hurts worst, but I have quite a tail to tell. Deb
