It's been a long time since I lasted blogged. One injury after another--life is full of challenges. I have porous bones and they break easily.
This blog needs your help and feedback. Since my joints are laden with arthritis and soft tissue fibromyalgia, I can only do water aerobics in very warm water. Most of the gyms I have visited set the water temperature s between 75-80F. That's too cold for me. I will probably have to learn to get used to it. Is there another way to work out? Yoga? What type of yoga that would accommodate limited extensions?
This entire summer has been a blur. Plenty of busy work and lots of traveling. I so enjoyed the little bit of hiking my family and I did. Wishing I live closer to nature. The offering of nature is limitless and also extremely healing. The smell of the mountain earth and salty ocean breeze sooth the wounds and the soul.
I am determined to try another way to exercise and now on an adventure of seeking the suitable path. It seems life is just like exercising--did Forrest Gump say that?? This has been heavy on my mind and I worry that I will lose all options. At this juncture, working out in water seems the only alternative as my knees continue to deteriorate.
Life gives me tests and I intend to take them, pass and A's them. I need study guides and I am turning to you, my friends for them.
Weight-training remains an option although I am more an aerobics person. I will work out again if weight-training is the only way. I will patiently wait another 6 weeks.
I intend to make the best of my predicament. Walking in water might be the only way. Blessings on the poor water!!!
