Back to the gym

I finally decided to go back to the gym today. I haven't been in probably 4 months. I was shocked how tired I got in 10 mins. It was kind of disappointing to feel this way so quick. I realized I am going to have to go slow with this. I was able to do 35 mins. today. I finally got the heart stuff undercontrolled, so it's time to get back into life. I felt better when I was working out, so I hope to get that feeling again.

Good for you! Keep it going!

Slow and steady wins the race. You will be able to work it back up.

Good for you for getting back into exercising! I know how difficult it can be just to get started. After I moved back to lawrence I slowly started getting back into running and swimming and have felt awesome because of it. It takes time to get back to where you want to be but it will pay off. I started out mainly walking and then doing a walk/run and now I am running anywhere from 5 to 10 miles 3 days out of the week. I still let my body dertermine how far I go. If I listen I don't have any issues with flare ups. So keep up the good work and keep us posted on how you are doing! The endorphins produced when working out are a wonderful thing, it's amazing how the pain goes away and emotionally you feel confident and calm.

Debbie I like to do this gym equipment called cyberflex. You use your legs, thigh and feet. You can adjust the tension to. I also will get on the Tredmill, but I can get bored. I use planet fitness gym. They are very cheap. Cost only $10 month with no contract.

I adore the Cyberflex, but I use the one with the swinging arms.

It's very good for building endurance and stamina without too much impact.
