Aquatic exercise Fart
I've mentioned that I started doing aquatic exercises since I can't do much walking or any other land based exercises. Well, today I saw my doctor and found out that I've lost 21 pounds over the last 2 months due to my exercises. God know that I'm still a hopeless carb addict. So, without changing my diet, I've lost a good deal of weight. It's really encouraging.
I don't swim as much as I exercise. I use a therapy pool so I see what exercises the therapy patients are doing and I do some of them. I basically walk forward, backward, and side to side for the length of the pool. I have other exercises that I do, but the biggest key for me is that I'm moving major muscle groups through water for the entire time that I'm in the pool. I usually exercise for 30 to 45 min. I hope to increase it eventually. And, I go to the pool between 5 and 6 days a week.
