One needs to keep the joints loose and the leg muscles active and oxygenated thus keeping the wheel chair at bay.

If only that old adage, "If it don't...Oh, <br />If only that old adage, "If it don't hurt it don't work." were true. Because I find everything hurts, whether it's working or not! But *very* slow and steady wins out over trying to reach some goal. I've read, don't know if it's true, that three days of exercise and a day of rest is best when you are older. Resting gives the muscles recovery time, and you come back stronger. If you're looking at PAD there are medical studies which show that adding soya Lecithin to the diet can clear plaque from the arteries. I can send links to the studies PubMed if you are interested. I have a disorder which often affects the heart so I have to have annual cardiac and arterial scans, and the cardiologist always remarks that he's never seen anyone else my age without *any* plaque in their arteries. I'm 71 and have taken Lecithin since I was in my 20s, most of the time. Once about 10 years ago I just got sick of taking pills and stopped taking it, but my cholesterol went up enough that my doctor wanted to start me on a statin drug. I declined and started taking Lecithin again, and I've not had a high reading since. At any rate I wish you some real comfort and know that there are many out here who wish you well Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133236228952504852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-18973211360850246092017-02-22T00:33:13.250-03:302017-02-22T00:33:13.250-03:30I'm no friend to discipline Ramana unless I ha...I'm no friend to discipline Ramana unless I have a specific goal in mind.

I managed to strain my knee one time, then my ankle. I guess it depends how fit, or unfit, one is at the start. I had become, leg-wise, very unfit after a few years in the USA where walking is something of a peculiarity, after 60+ years in the UK walking just about everywhere!<br /><br />Do be gentle with yourself! :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-5935318476250474972017-02-20T18:02:42.558-03:302017-02-20T18:02:42.558-03:30I prefer to walk outside, but I do love my treadmi...I prefer to walk outside, but I do love my treadmill.
