    Suggestions Needed

    I need to do some exercise, but I'm at a loss to figure out what to do. Both of my achilles tendons are damaged, and I have a very hard time walking -- great pain and poor balance. I can't do anything that has impact to it. I am bringing the exercise bike up from the basement so that I can use it.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions how I can effectively exercise?
    June Goals
    1. Continue with water
    2. Use bike more (3x per week would be nice).
    3. Continue with videos.
    4. Go to the YMCA for water classes.
    5. Build stamina for more walking.


    Goals for May:
    1. Water every day - at least 100 oz.
    2. Walk through Wal Mart instead of ride.
    3. Post every day.
    4. Get the exercise bike out of basement and use it!
    5. Re-read DANDR! It's been too long.

    Swimming is great with the least impact.

      Thanks, I do plan to contact the Y in the morning to see about their water exercise classes. I'm not a great swimmer, but do enjoy the water. Maybe a swimming class would be good.

        a pilatres video or class would be good as those are no impact.

        What is your doc doing to assist you in fixing those tendons? Any PT scheduled? if so ask your therapist for sugestions too.

          PT didn't work. They wanted to do surgery about 3 years ago, but then I had a serious health crisis, and it was postponed. Had the surgery been done, I would have been in a real mess when it came to the health crisis that I had, and so I've been afraid to have the surgery ever since. I probably will have to break down and do it eventually
