Gym Is Open (Tuesday)

I had a shot of cortisone in my knee yesterday. I feel much better, but, was told to take it easy at the gym for a few days. So today I did 25 minutes on the recumbent bike, then 5 min walk on the track, then 15 mins of stretching...slowly coming along. What did you do to move your body today? Lori 384/245/168

Hi Lori, Hope your knee improves quickly ... I walked on the treadmill 30 minutes, then did my regular circuit plus hip machines. Eileen

Thanks Eileen, The cortisone shot helped considerably! I think I just couldn't get the inflammation down on my own. Especially, since we can't take anti-inflammatories. Glad to see you are moving too! Lori

25 minutes biking, 5 minutes walking and 15 minute stretching is taking it easy?? Geez, Lori. Laying on my sofa is taking it easy for me. Kathy

Well, it is taking it easy for me. I was so solid on my 75 minutes a day 5 to 6 days a week for so long!!! I hope I can get back to it soon. I think I'm an endorphine junky now and really miss my fix! Lori

Woooo Hooooo, I went back to the gym - FINALLY!!!! Now, don't worry I took it very very slow. I walked 1/2 mile yesterday and today i walked 1.5 miles.... BUT..... it took me almost an hour to walk that 1.5 miles today. EVERYONE was passing me, even the little old ladies. (booo hoo) But it did feel wonderful to get out and walk again after laying around all of last week. Laurie 266/140/132 (beginning/goal/current)

Laurie, You must be doing pretty well to even attempt this! That is great! No post surgical problems right now? Lori

I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting since Feb for our new La Fitness to open up. It had its grand opening last night and I am going straight after work today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant beleive how exited I am to work out!!!!!!!!!! Silly huh? Lola

Not silly, at all! Missing exercise when you don't do it is an awesome thing. Enjoy! Kathy

Lola, It is certainly not silly to be excited about working out! It is exactly the right attitude! Good for you! Lori
