Exercise

[forward]

I think we need to keep this thread going. It is a good distraction from our adulterous spouses!!!

BH, I am going back through the physical therapy exercises. I am determined to strengthen whatever it is that I have to strengthen in order to be able to do other exercises. I appreciate your advice w/dr.--but I already went through a lot of that and I really do think they will just send me back to physical therapy. So I picked up the exercises again and I do feel better. I do not think I have an injury--I think this is a weakness.

I read about knees and back, since that's where I was hurting. A lot of times, knee and back problems go together. I think that there were certain exercises that I was doign that really hurt (I think it was those exercises and not the bike, so I may add the bike back in, gently).

So BH, this is going to be slooow going, sigh. I miss when I was rubber-band flexible. So my goal now is to keep up the physical therapy while I slowly add in more exercises. I think I can do this but I probably have a longer path than others. But I will do it!!

Oh--and Pilates today, BH. I am doing the physical therapy, and then alternating between dance, Pilates, yoga, or bike. I think consistency is going to be more important, so I can get strong enough to do more.
