So out of Shape

Hi all, As you know I am going to physical theropy to strengthen my leggs. Today I tried a new exercize machine. It was a combo of stepper and treadmill. I did 3 minutes and thought I would die.My back hurt and I could really feel my heart pumping fast. I had to sit down and wait for my heart to slow down. I want to do this so bad but realize I am so out of shape. I also have a cold so maybe that was part of the problem. Any sujections? I am going to do this but Lord help me get in better cardio shape. See all lighter. Joanne

HI JOANN! TAKE IT A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME, SOON YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WORK YOURSELF UP. YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH THE TOUGH PART...HAVING THE SURGERY! I GO TO CURVES 2 OR 3 TIMES PER WEEK AND PLAY WATER VOLLEYBALL 2 NIGHTS A WEEK. I LOVE IT. IT WILL GET EASIER. YOU ARE WORTH ALL THE HARD WORK TAKE CARE SEE YOU LIGHTER!!!! KAREN

Karen, where do you play water volleyball? That sounds like fun. I am far from giving up. I am determined to get the best out of this journey and will get the cardio going a little at a time. I have only just begun and am well on my way to riding that bike next summer with my grandchildren . They are my world and a big part of the reason I took this journey. See you lighter. Joanne
