I have had an ongoing problem with back pain that was preventing me from going for a
walk. My COPD would flare up and cause extreme back pain when I tried to go for a
walk,
I am on a cruise ship now and decided to finally hit the gym.
I found that I was able to do the treadmill, the recumbent bike and the rowing machine
2 consecutive days in a row, without any back pain.
Yesterday I was able to walk into town without any rest stops and was able to put a little
over 9000 steps on, which for me is a recent record.
We will be heading home tomorrow. I promise myself that I will start using the gym
regularly now. We have 3 gyms in my community which are all free to use. Who knows.
Maybe I can get back into pickleball.
