Every OTHER day will turn into EVERY day before the summer is out.  6 lengths is GREAT!  Does your PT not want you to do anything in the pool, or just swimming?  Are you allowed to do other pool exercises?  And don't knock chair exercises.  There's a lot of exercise you can do in a chair (especially if you use weights).  20 Min Chair Exercises Sitting Down Workout - Seated Exercise for Seniors, Elderly, & EVERYONE ELSE ... or 25 Min Chair Exercises Sitting Down Workout - Seated Exercise for Seniors, Limited Mobility, Elderly...   (Just cross out the words "seniors" and "elderly" - I have a problem with those words too!)  Do those at a quicker clip and you feel the burn, believe me.  And yes, chair is better than nothing!  We have to challenge ourselves to NOT become overachievers all the time, but rather, listen to our bodies.  I stopped doing the other squat exercise challenge because once I got up to 65 I thought, "what am I nuts?  I'm bone on bone on my knees, I don't NEED to get up to 100 squats.  That would just be dumb!" in my case.  There are plenty of exercises I CAN do that won't be bad for me.  The idea is to help, not hurt.

Come on, Nancy.  Do that Yoga, or something else (just not too many of that something else!) on the non-pool days.  It will help your MIND.  And then come and shout out what you've done!  ♥

You are in my prayers that you have inner peace while recovering.  I know it is hard being the go-getter you are. I  believe that you will make it through and become stronger than you already are.

Day 2

Day 2 done.

[kristen-9-7-15]

I'll get a little more cardio in tonight dancing the night away.  I am going to a 90's Throwback concert.  Heeheehee

Finished day 2.  Amazing how just that little bit gets your heart rate up.  Also found out my knees don't care much for those quick trots (plus being somewhat limited after two achilles surgeries).  But I got 'em done!  I like the workout because it's varied from day to day.  Keeps it interesting and fun.

It is basically the same thing we do in our senior's EXercise class.  

[Giulia]

Ah!  Well then that must be a fun class!
