When the weather's right & I have access to somewhere to swim, that's what I do when I have the chance, since it helps ease the back pain in addition to being something I enjoy. But, since I live in the middle of nowhere where it snows, that's not an option most of the year.
So, I just moved earlier this month & while moving I found one of my old Tae-Bo dvds...so the other day I stuck it in my DVD player while I was cooking dinner. I only hung on for 8 minutes, but it was 8 minutes that I was really moving that I wouldn't have been doing otherwise, so I'm proud of myself for that. Maybe tonight I'll try for 9! | I can certainly understand how an injury could limit your desire or ability to exercise! I think it is awesome that you rekindled your interest in Tae-Bo! I don't know much about it but from what I have seen it is quite a workout! Keep it up!
