15 mins a day on the bike and so far the joints are holding up. Starting to add maca to my supplements as well. Cheerin' you on. My work iPhone has a Fitness app that measures my stairs climbed, calories burned, and steps walked. I get disappointed when I'm under 200 calories of exercise. Nice little goad for anyone who has a new enough iPhone. Have you checked vitamin levels with bloodwork? (I seem to recall you being a Brit, so I don't need to ask if you're insured.) Discovered my low Vitamin D levels when I got aches in my calves. I thought I'd been sitting too much. Well, maybe, but once I took D, the aches went away. |

As part of my renewal project, body, mind and soul, I am looking to exercise. My arthritis and knees shut out most exercises. If anyone has any experience of programmes with little joint strain I would be grateful. I am hoping to join an archery club but they have a strict entry of a yearly entry course every May. Swimming maybe? I don't know if you have room or a gym membership but the recumbent bike is great for that. I just them in physical therapy before and after knee replacements. I bought one 10 years ago wasn't super expensive has 8 trails/ programs and still going strong. Yoga is great and you will yourself when you have to get knees replaced your muscles wont be all shortened. |

Legs were agony today. Sigh. But I will try being gentle. Do anything different ? Overworked them by accident? Knees? Calves? Thighs? A burst tendon made me stop lifting weights, need to get started again. Injuries kill a lot of exercise programs, but yeah, baby sore muscles. Pain is not always gain. May even enlist guidance from health professionals, if available. Weight lifting gave me a sore back. A nurse told me to try sit ups to strengthen my stomach muscles. Not intuitive, but worked a treat for me. |

Old age and arthritis are the cause
