[QUOTE="JenniferG, post: 1569799, member: 306119"] Yeah I worry about overwalking. I'll pay attention to what my body is telling me and take less steps if I need to. I have however found out something very low impact that is much better than power walking for me. I just got a DeskCycle and sit it front of my sofa. I can lay back in the sofa and pedal, moving around arms at same time, and get a good sweat worked up and have an average heart rate of about 130 beats per minute. I do this for 20 mins and my blood glucose drops 15-30 mg/dL. SO this is how I've been controlling my blood sugar as of late. I don't want to go back on insulin. Last night I was at 109 mg/dL and did 20 min cardio on the DeskCycle (totally impact free and didn't hurt knees or butt since on sofa), after the cardio I was at 78 mg/dL :). Drop of 31 mg/dL. As far as drums go, I can actually play them with a decent beat :). It's been many years and I don't own a set. Plus my circulation / butt won't allow it. Start getting edema really bad and leg goes numb.. but gets really painful with sharp pains etc. Hips throb etc. But anyways, for now I just air drum fast while on the DeskCycle and listen to some speed metal to keep me going fast :) [/QUOTE]
