i'm in bioleader but i'll have to check with my dr. jack to see what my limits are. i'm not going to be able to do any of the hard core stuff, not yet, but i think i can do some of the stretches without tearing my stitches out.

i'll get back to you on the minutes.

Re: June Stability Ball Exercise~sign up and reporting thread

jack and i seem to think that 5 minutes a day is a good start. if i see that i've undershot things by mid month, then i'll adjust my goal. i just have no idea of what i will be able to do.

i've done 4 minutes today. squats and some stretches. holy moly, it feels like the very first time of using the stab. ball!

i'll benefit from the praying, you'll benefit from the minutes.

Re: June Stability Ball Exercise~sign up and reporting thread

Bio you got my goals right ......... It seems like a lot but doing 10 in the morning and 10 at night really doesn't seem like to much.

Jo I can't believe your using weights all ready ......... be careful the very last thing you want to do is pull those stitches ...... You making such amazing progress so quickly I know when I had my Hysterectomy I was unable to do or lift anything for at least 8 weeks ......

6/4 - 10 min
