Exercise Fanatic

Omi Gosh, today was the first day of no pain medications. So naturally I headed to the gym. Dr. Galante said I cannot do any intense cardio for at least four weeks and no weight training for at least six.

This caused a slight panic, but there is always a bright side to every situation. What Dr. Galante did say is that I could walk at a moderate level to my heart's content. That is exactly what I did — WALKED MY LITTLE BUTT OFF! I did one hour on the treadmill (equivalent to 6 miles). I kept my heart rate at the very low end of the fat burning zone, nice and steady. I felt great when I was through, in fact I could have gone longer... I was just afraid to over do it.

So that is my plan. I am going to walk like I never have, because if I don't I will go absolutely insane! I breathe for fitness and I think walking will fill my void in the upcoming weeks. I am actually really excited about it. One of my goals to meet before my next show is to trim a bit of muscle of my legs and all this walking is definitely going to help! So far this has been a really awesome experience, I am thankful for my choice.
