Currently I use an Elliptical - Most days I am on it for 30 minutes (give or take) which equals 2 miles. I use resistant bands and hand weights.

I am also in Physical Therapy.

I am going to be looking for ankle weights - the kind that have pockets to put small weights in and add more as needed.

Snoopy, that is awesome! I can swim a mile, but the elliptical beats my butt. I can maybe do a minute on it. You are the elliptical star!! I use the ankle weight and have worked up to 20 pounds--impossible! But True! Keep on moving

You are now officially inducted as charter members too tkrik and afternap

tikrik, are you in Phoenix? or Sacramento Valley? Thats plenty hot.

Thanks for the nice welcome afternap

I did my weights tonight for 30 minutes. Thats the only exercise that I dont really like that much. I like how it makes my muscles stronger, and helps the bones, but otherwise, I much prefer swimming. I watched Spiderman3 tonight while doing the weights

Cindy, two naps in one day earns you the medal of honor today

Erin, I hope that it does mean that you are gradually regaining feeling. When I have burning in my legs, I wrap it snugly in a towel and it seems to reduce the brains ability to process pain--the pain greatly lessens. Cant lose anything trying it?

I've been putting a heating pad on the burning areas. (not too hot)

I noticed that anything cold on it (shower water) made the burning worse, but heat made it feel better. Weird, that heat would make it feel better.

hi,

i started walking about 2 yrs ago.
my neighbor sold me her treadmill for $50 when she moved and now it's sitting in my living room (i have a 1 BR apt ). i call it my Dreadmill .

i walk almost every day and do 8 min's. now i'm up to 10.
i long ago said to make a reasonable goal and that's it for me. otherwise i'm still walking and i drive. so i get around. it's just harder and harder.

thanks for the thread.
