Having gotten the OK from Dr. K. on Tuesday, today I went back to the gym. The last time I was there was January 8th, almost exactly three months ago. So this is a semi big deal. No more 25-28 minute walks or dumbbells in the gym.
I’d been thinking about this for quite a while, and the original plan was to go on the bike for 15 minutes, do some stretching, and use the ellyptical trainer for 15 minutes.
What I actually did was the bike for 15 minutes (at level 7 – I used to go at level 9 so tht’s not too bad), 12 minutes of good stretching, but then only 8 minutes on the ellyptical. My legs were getting quite heavy on the ellyptical, it wasn’t so much my wind.
Anyway, I am satisfied. I felt fine. There’s no rush and tomorrow I will ride the bike for 18-20 minutes, stretch , and then start on the weight machines. That will be very interesting!
