I am not able to go further...In fact I noticed once the heat started my legs are screaming...the muscles do NOT like this exercise. Should I not be use to the distance etc. after 2 months? Anyone else have this problem?
Hello, I have found that walking makes the pain and numbness I feel in my feet and legs feel worse, how ever it does not keep me from doing it. I think working out really does help improve you mood. I have been swiming now for about 6 months I have gone from not being able to do one lap to doing 20 and I can now swim for 1 hour with out stopping, and the best part, it does not put any strain on my feet, legs, or hands. I would encourage anyone who can find a gym with a pool to try it. Good luck and keep on moving.
