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.

Welcome Vincent,
Sounds like you're working uphill friend, good on you for keeping it up.
We love it when folks do their regular workout logs here, it functions as inspiration for the rest of us and I'd dare say you'd give us mere mortals an extra shot.
It sucks about not being able to get to the pool as it sounds ideal. I hope you will be able to have that return to your workouts soon.
Excellent set of goals, keep us up to speed on your progress, (and pitfalls, we're here for that too!)
