Exercise with disabilities
I thought I would post here for a bit of encouragement.
To keep it short I was ultra fit 2 yrs ago,then got sick,with multiple,medical conditions problems,I will have had 3 surgeries within 12 mths 1 minor,one major and a hip replacement in October,before getting sick I was running 6 klms a day swimming a mile a day and doing weight workouts.
I think Im looking for encouragement a gym buddy,I'm im in a great deal of pain meds,so trying to keep my enthusiasm has been hard.
I have set up a disabled gym for cardio with a boxing bag and weights of which I do interval training,I do try n do morn and night.
Its very difficult as I can only stand now for 5 minutes,the disease in my hip has been progressive,14 mths ago I was still running,so mixing it up is pretty impossible,I find I have to fight my boredom of only being able to do one thing,I used to swim,but can no longer make it from the car to the pool anymore.
I have 4 weeks n 4 days till my hip is done,I was thinking I may use here to log my exercise,to push myself.
I hope my post is not to long.
todays exercise is intervals of 5 mins,between hitting the bag"I have to be seated" and 5 min weights,alternate between chest and triceps,Im trying to regain strength so the weight is enough so as to get my heart rate up,and I aim for 1 hr morn,30 mins afternoon.
Ok I hope my post is not to long.
Cheers from Australia.
