Regarding exercise, I am someone who exercises six days a week. I found not being able to exercise the most difficult part of recovery. Around the beginning of month 3 post injury, I decided to get back to my Leslie Sansone DVDs. I started slowly but progressed pretty rapidly as I noticed it helped tremendously with how I was feeling and my attitude. For me, the activity does not give me issues. At one point I was so desperate to move that I marched in place slowly while watching a mindless TV show. hahaha. I can exercise at a moderate to somewhat intense level for an hour. I don't do that much every day but I do try and exercise for at least thirty minutes 6 days a week. Hope that helps. That being said, I wouldn't go out and play tennis or run a marathon or anything. Leslie Sansone is basically walking really briskly with some jogging, arm movements and light weight training.
