Had I read your post weeks ago...then maybe I would have slowed my little tibias down a bit!
I'm using my weights and getting my arms into shape...slowly! Will get back to short, slow walks...then very slowly add. I go see a therapist next Monday for an evaluation...don't think I need to attend all the prescribed sessions.
Slow is perfectly fine. Moving is the important thing. |
Yikes! I'm sorry you learned the hard and painful way! See, that's what I can imagine myself doing! I'd jump into a full impact aerobics class like I did 20 years ago and die of a heart attack!
I have no choice but to accept that "the ole gray mare just ain't what she used to be"!
