What have I been doing to work out?! Not enough! After surgery this spring (medial meniscus removal), I worked out with a physical therapist. Loved it! But alas a month after being released from PT, I needed a cortizone shot for the arthritis behind the knee cap. So I've heard from both the surgeon and PT I need to strengthen my quads. So I walk ... some. Otherwise, it's housework and trips to the store, etc. We have a Y nearby, so it's the best resort. My hubby likes a pool and our Y doesn't have one, so we can go to a nearby indoor facility or local university pool. But ... that's the problem! I have to get off my BUTT!

Good job, Jayne! 530 steps is a lot, in addition to all the other walking you did!

My water aerobics class was canceled today, so I decided to do some lap swimming. Did 4x100 yards with 30 seconds rest between them. Felt OK, but my shoulders were starting to send me a message to stop. I also had a tiny bit of wheezing at the end. I expect both of these symptoms to dissipate as I get back into swimming shape.
