Back on the program

I did Step today, first time since September 2005. I had to have my hip replaced in November. I was walking right away and my strength was coming back but my thigh and pelvis kind of felt "rubbery", really loose.

My MD said it wasn't loose at all, I was just thinking the tautness prior to the surgery was normal.

I gingerly did my first Cathe tape, CTX All Step (it came with my step) It felt great even if my choreography stinks! Of course tomorrow I may have a different opinion!

Congratulations on your recovery! The soreness will probably be a welcome feeling.

I am sure you are feeling GREAT! Congratulations! You may want to take tomorrow off...just to be safe! When I returned from an injury, I did a light workout, then allowed an entire day off to make sure I didn't "stir" anything, then went back the next day.

I am sure you are thrilled to be back!!

Way to go Dave, I'm sure the coordination will come. I myself have always shied away from Cathe's step workouts until recently but I'm surprised how fast I'm catching on.

Hope your hip gets stronger and stronger!

Great job, Dave! It must feel just fantastic to work out after so long. Keep it up, and keep us posted.

I'm glad to hear you're getting back into a workout routine, but do take it slow and easy.
