HiRe: Do you exercise?
Oh dear, sorry to hear that Surfermom. Did they do what my local gym is doing or did they just open the doors as they usually would have done? Something else I forgot to mention is that the gym also closed the changing rooms and showers, so you now have to turn up ready to train and leave as soon as the hour is finished. One loo is open and the rest are closed off, with only 1 person at a time in the loo area. They really have considered all angles as best they can.Re: Do you exercise?
Well I bit the bullet this morning with tears in my eyes. I cancelled my Pool Membership.Re: Do you exercise?
Aw, swimfeeders and Roxy I'm so sorry you are going through such trying times.Re: Do you exercise?
No, Since my 2 knee replacements I am not allowed to do any exercise that's going to put pressure on them.That's why I had to stop the Linedancing.Re: Do you exercise?
There's a woman I know at the gym who has been going for 17 years and she's 88 now. She's in good shape but is happy now to just do a little bit of everything - arms, chest core and legs. She uses light weights and calls it "keeping herself ticking over". If I recall aright (it's obviously been months since I last saw her) she has had one hip replaced and both knees. Her doctor sent here there to strengthen the muscles that support the joints. I wonder why your doctor advised against exercise? In a different gym a woman who used to chat to me had been told to start using an exercise bike with almost no resistance on it to keep the new knee flexing. That was 4 weeks after the op.Re: Do you exercise?
Re: Do you exercise?
You must be gutted Roxy,... It's so hard to find a good substitute for swimming, being as it provides an all round workout without the weight bearing of walking or running. Surfermom's idea about the wetsuit might be the way to go. If I wanted to go swimming I think I would like to go wild water swimming in lakes and lido's, and even in the sea.....But I only run these days.....I have been considering getting my bike out of mothballs, but Mrs Fox keeps me so busy..... Or am I losing the drive......Re: Do you exercise?
I'm going to talk to some of the surfers about wearing a wet suit, not sure I'd really like one. I've often watched the performance some of them have trying to get in and out of one of those suits, don't fancy it much lol.
