My heart is always beating but yesterday I raised it's speed deliberately for the first time since my crash. My physio. last Thursday gave me a circuit to perform in a gym. Some exercises I can do without the aid of machines, some exercises using the resistance machines and best of all use of the exercise bike. Originally she intended it for warm up but since I am a cyclist and want to get back to cycling she told me to do a 20 minute cycling session. So on Sunday I did. I visited the gym for the first time in about 10 years, took my induction session and did my circuit. You know what ? I enjoyed it too. It felt good sitting on the machines exercising, whilst sitting no one can see I have a damaged pelvis, my movement is like everyone else's when I walk slowly.
My feet still hurt but the pain is moving around, I expect it'll stop once all muscles are used to the efforts. Walking continues to get easier and I can walk further each time. Pedalling is not painful at all so it'll not be long before I can get out on the road again.
