Re: Totally ADD: No Exercise

[Anonymous]

I like long walks. There is something soothing about walking, especially somewhere there is few people about. I can stick in my headphones and let my mind wander. I have fairly severe arthritis in my knees, which makes running painful, and therefore stops me doing the many sports which were my exercises of choice when younger, as I loved sports…hockey, softball, tennis, basketball, indoor cricket….I liked that they only went for a season and then it was time to change to the next season’s sport, and I did chop and change my choice of sports each year quite a bit. Shift work stopped the sport, as I couldn’t commit to a regular weekly time for matches, let alone practice, and then my knees began to cause problems. I also used to cycle a lot, and I still have my bike. In the years prior to, and also immediatley following, knee surgery, I struggled to even ride an exercise bike with no resistance, but now I am trying to work my knees up to being able to ride regularly, as my kids would love it if I could, and I need the exercise.
