GYM IS OPEN! (MONDAY)

Lori leaves the key to the gym under the front porch mat, so I'll open the gym today on her behalf. I did a short walk throughout the house without my walker, which is quite a bit of exercise for my big wobbly legs. They're pretty tired now. I also had to mop the kitchen floor, which I think should count as exercise even though I didn't do a very good job! What did you do to move your body today? Kix

Kix, I think it sounds like you are really coming along! Hang in there and it will come! I didn't do any formal exercise on Sunday...just chores...which is still work... Tonight, I'm headed to the gym to do lower body strength training and my friend the treadmill....thank goodness I'm listening to a good book on my iPod. (Water For Elephants). Thanks for opening the gym! Lori

I'm going back to water aerobics tonight!!! Jan

Good for you Jan! I haven't made it to a water aerobics class in so long now. I really enjoy it though! Lori

On Monday, I went to the gym after work and did 40 minutes on the elliptical trainer. One year ago, I got tired just walking to my car at the end of the work day. What a blessing this surgery has been! Good luck to everyone finding their motivation to move it, move it, move it today! Kellie

I injured my left hip over the weekend - I don't know how it exactlyhappened. I only know that I went to bed Saturday night feeling fine and woke up sunday morning barely able to walk. I spent the weekend at an amusement park, so I'm thinking it was one of those rides. It is still stiff, but not nearly as painful as it was. Anyway, I rested the hip yesterday and sunday and wil try some light cardio tonight (Tuesday).

Ouch! I have a hip that bothers me on occassion. They say I have arthritis in it...I hope yours is just a muscle strain! Lori
