What I have been doing at the club is walking in the pool, a mile a day (a bit less than 75 lengths).
Doctor first told me not to do any upper arm, and said walk outside, but I always liked swimming and its easier on the knees so he said to walk.
And now I have added some leg equiptment and the last two weeks, finally added some upper arm machines.
Some days its harder to get out (especially in the winter days with snow and ice), but I have done it every day since the middle of July except the 3 days I was in DC and the couple of days it closed.
What was amazing in DC was, without realizing it, I walked miles, and better yet, I bounded up the stairs of the Lincoln memorial, and only when I got to the top thought about what I just did. (This was in October.) gonna go back during the Cherry Blossoms end of March and see some of the things there wasn't time last time.
Washington DC is very inspiring. I wouldn't have been able to do this last spring without a wheelchair. So the pain and the lack of certain foods and real sodas is worth it.
