Dawn Melanie’s BodyBlog

So, in the past 2 weeks, I have had a significantly reduced level of exercise.  Instead of climbing stairs for 30 intense minutes, I’ve been getting in te pool to “Hydrocycle” - bicycling in the water.  This activity, albeit “unique” has its benefits: mild resistance is provided by the water…cool temperature of the water is soothing to my knee.  I am still maintaining strength of my upper body.  Today, I worked biceps, triceps, and delts for 60 minutes.  I followed this up with a Pilates class desgned for those stricken by Multiple Sclerosis.  With all the dealings with my injured knee, I “forgot” that I have a chronic, debilitating illness.  Whatever…it’s all relative…as I never forget to “Appreciate the Negative.”
