Take it easy, Mr Grace!
Take it easy, Mr Grace!You've all done very well, as "young" Mr Grace used to say in Are You Being Served?
I've had to cut down on walking very far and the heavier gardening jobs since one knee started hurting and then the other. So I'm on heat packs (damaged back), ice packs and exercises twice a day. Maybe I should change my avatar to Mr Grace.
Please say you won't be running until it is completely healed.
Oh dear, what about cycling, swimming or a gentle walk as alternatives?I won't be running until it's completely healed, the guy in the trainer shop said the same thing. He also told me off for running every day.
Oh and I saved £5, the trainers only cost me £115....yeah

I ache.
Came home from work had dinner - then did the usual walk to make sure we reached our fitbit targets (mine is 7k) then sister picked me up and we went to aqua aerobics .... my arms ache now .....
Feeling better for doing stuff though
Well done John, I haven't been as active since the warm weather started but I'm still going out every dayThought I'd bump this thread hope you don't mind.
Have recently got my self a step counting bracelet thingy. And have been managing to do a walk each day. Tough going but a few yards then rest then a few yards and rest can get you surprisingly far if you keep it up long enough.
Have been out on Brierly park trails Teversal trails and silver hills trail every day over the past week. about 2 to 3 thousand steps each day. Weight loss has stalled but I think it's because I am starting to build up a little of the muscle mass I had lost well on my left leg any way right leg not so much as since the op have much reduced blood supply to that leg but progress is progress. A bit at a time will do just fine.
I think the important thing with those fitbit type things is to set yourself achievable targets - I don't reach mine every day - but 6 out 7 I do ...Thought I'd bump this thread hope you don't mind.
