I am sooooo out of shape!
Yesterday at PT my therapist decided to up what I have been doing with my knee. So I biked 10 mins, did 30 leg presses at 20 lbs, did 30 squats on the total gym, did vectors and then the lovely dreadmill for 5 mins. Holy heck I was out of breath and sweating my butt off!!! This just proves how much I have let myself go in the past 2 years and I am not a happy camper this morning thinking about it…..more mad than anything really. Plus the fact that I really can not do anything about it right now with the knee being as it is!! GRRRRRRR! Usually this type of anger would transform itself into motivation for me to get off my ass and do something! I will think on it today though and figure out something to do. I have to put it all together…..when I am working out, that makes me feel soooooo much better about my “diet” and myself. Ahhhhhh as I typed this I already have an idea…….put that YMCA membership to use! Later I will look and see what water aerobic classes they have…..no strain on the knee so they can’t yell at me for doing stuff! hehehe always more than one way to skin a cat!

I think water aerobics will be good for you, especially while your kneww is trying to heal. Don’t over do it! Take care of yourself!
Depending on how badly your knee hurts, stationary cycling might work well. If you push yourself to do a few minutes extra each day, you will increase your cardio strength and get into shape in no time.
Water aerobics are a blast. I know I’m going to be doing that again as soon as I get my foot healed and membership back. Where there is a will there is a way! You can do it. I hope your knee gets to feeling better. I know it’s hard to exercise when you have a body part hurting. I currently can’t walk because of foot surgey. Good luck with your efforts!! I can’t wait to read on your progress!!!
Good luck in whatever you choose. I hope you can find some good solutions. And remember, you can make alot of change with just food too so give that your very best too. Good luck!
Water aerobics has worked great for me when I can keep my ear infections away. Just hang in there and you’re fitness level will improve with time.
I have been reading your profile, wow we have alot on common…keep your head up
