Here comes Summer let's stay active.

Ah, @mo53
You have been keeping going.
Well done.
I have managed, at last, to get back to the pool and managed 40 minutes of aquafit, Very tentatively, today.

@Pipp . Well done! That's brilliant! To be honest this thread helps me to think and focus on exercise.

I need to remember than before I can (front) crawl I have to at least try to do a bit of doggy paddle!
Pacing oneself important. Slow progress and knowing limitations.

Clivethedrive if you haven't done Arthur's seat I would recommend it .

My eyes are fine except my prescription has changed and I need new varifocals ... Loads of money

I thought Arthur's seat sounded better than numb bum!

 

[Pipp]

Hey, where are you all? It is not autumn yet, so come and keep @mo53 company.
I have been to the pool again today 40 mins aquafit and 10 mins gentle swim.
Trying not to overdo it and set myself back again.

 

[mo53]

@Pipp well done! That sounds like hard work,! Your braver than me I haven't tried Aquafit yet.

Today I visited Eden Camp and it was brilliant. Well worth a visit if you are up here in Yorkshire. We there for 4 and a half hours and were walking all of the time except 30 minutes for lunch. It was stop , start but still walking.

 

[Clivethedrive]

Hi all, usual 10 miles on the exercise bike, 50 situps, and half an hour heavy weights

 

[mo53]

Wow! @Clivethedrive thats an amazing exercise regime! Brilliant!

Aquafit really isn't that hard a work out. Although the aqua coach knows how far to push each of us. In the deep water it is much less stress on joints than trying to walk, so keeps me happy.

I have been to Eden camp. It was about 20 years ago. Perhaps I will try to get there again sometime. A full day is only just enough time to get round it all.

Hello everyone. I'm not doing well today. My exercise will have to be walking to bus stop and from shop to doctors and then repeating this this afternoon. I seem to have rather a painful flare up gout in my knee today. I need to go back to pick up a prescription for painkillers. It's a real nuisance but never mind I'm having a visit from my 2 year old grandson tomorrow morning so providing knee has settled down I'm sure he will give me enough exercise to make up.

Hope you soon get the knee sorted, @mo53.

My exercise today has been pottering in garden, sweeping patios and using the garden furniture as gym equipment. I sat down for some of the exercise as shown by physio, chair based exercises.

 

[mo53]

Well done @Pipp . I bet you felt the exercises from the physio! Your pottering in the garden sounds good fun.

 

[mo53]

Hello.
Well today I played with my grandson in the garden even though it was really cold. I then went swimming for 35 minutes and did 25 lengths!
