Yesterday the doc gave me the ok to go back to the gym. I walked in there this afternoon with 10 various aches and pains. When I walked out I only had two pains - the bruise on my shin and the bruise on top of my left hand where I got IV antibiotics last week. After weeks of being a couch potato, exercise felt great. I took it easy though. I spent only 15 minutes on the recumbent bike followed by 30 minutes lifting weights. I lost a lot of muscle tone in the past few weeks. My thunder thighs were flapping like granny's bloomers hanging on the wash line as I biked along. I reduced the amount I lifted on every machine. The long row machine is the one that felt the best. This machine stretches and pulls at all the muscles in my back. Normally I don't notice the effect of it but today I could feel every single flabby muscle contract and retract and it feels so good.
