Gym Is Open (Wednesday)

Hope I'm doing this right, this has really changed. Getting shots in my knees today.  The 1 shot a week for 3 weeks synvisc shots.  Sometimes it hurts and I can't go to the gym, so I will have to see how I feel tonight. What did you do to move your body today? Lori

I did a lot of walking yesterday, probably the most walking I have done in years.  This new walker really helps me walk at a more normal clip.  I had to go from one building to another while I was at the clinic yesterday, and instead of calling for wheelchair transport, I just trotted on over to the other building and back for my PS appointment.  I only required two very brief rest periods.  I wish my knees didn't get so sore when I walked, although I will say they aren't as sore today.  Progress! It's positively arctic outside today, so I won't do any exercise-type walking until later -- we're going to see "King Lear" at the Denver Performing Arts Center.  I hope they threw some ice melt on the sidewalk, since I couldn't find any tiny tire chains for my walker.  Kix

Kix, I'm so glad your walker is helping you!  Would the synvisc shots help your knees? Hope you have fun tonight at "King Lear". Lori

Hey Lori,  Well I went this morning and did my thing 60 min on elliptical and did so lower body exercises. Everything is great.

Sounds great Lorraine!

I did 40 minutes on the elliptical trainer during my lunch hour.  Feels good to be done for the day! Kellie

Kellie, It sure does feel good to be done, that is why I've got to get back to mornings somehow!!!! Good for you! Lori

Hey Lori! I'm sorry about your knee pain.  Today I did  15 treadmill  30 elliptical  15 treadmill  WT on arms and shoulders

Thanks Jacie, I'm feeling better today.  By the time I finish my 3 weeks of shots, they will be back to normal! 

I shoveled snow and scraped ice for about 30-40 minutes.  Does that count?
