I'm baaaack!

 Doing workouts at the cardio/pulmonary rehab gym at Heart Path in Asheville.






I do like the "New Step" machines!




I found an old friend from 2 years ago...as well as a friend from Black Mountain...so I'll be making some new friends too. It's good to have some leadership (which I missed when trying to workout at the YMCA.)

I'm trying to go easy on myself to start...but I worked pretty hard earlier this week, and knew I needed a nap when I got home! I'm only going twice a week, and that leaves me other days to do things like take walks or drives. I can no longer do hikes due to my lungs, but the mountains offer their glorious views from many a overlook!

    My exercise tends to consist of swimming at my campus gym.

      I love the water, but chlorine doesn't like my lungs! Keep doing what works for you!

      Thanks, I'm having mixed feelings today, got very tired and blood pressure was low, so I went home before doing much!

      Thanks AC...I'm working between what my brain wants and what my body says...trying to listen to the message when I sleep 10 hours and cough a lot (yesterday) and low blood pressure today...so I went back home.

      Maybe I spoke too soon, I managed to get to the gym today, but was tired right when I started, so decided to listen to the body after all and came home early. A good choice, my body says.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
