Exercising before surgery
on 3/12/13 7:55 am - Peterborough, Canada
Every little bit will help. I had started aquafit for at least 2 years prior to my surgery.
It's really wonderful if you could incorporate a little walking into your day. whether it's a set routine of walking 20 minutes a night or parking further in the parking lot etc, adding steps to your day is really a wonderful thing and sets you up for some good habits later on.

Thanks , i do what i can but because i am 275lbs my feet and legs swell and of course the knees and back start hurting. I cant believe i have done this to myself . But at least i am doing something. I cant wait to be able to walk and do things that i used to. I have gained 100lbs in the last 2 years, and before that i walked everywhere and i miss it very much. And the thing i look forward to the most is taking my 22month old grandson for a walk and play at the park. He is my motivation. And i see him as the prize at the end of this journey. Thanks Everyone. Krista...
