Deep Water Walking

[Lynn]

Hello

I have been on a long journey of misdiagnosis and now recovery.

I have a frozen hip, that took a year to finally find a Dr that realized what was wrong with me. I was using a walker, needing help to use the washroom, on so many pain medications and looking at care homes last year.

When I finally got a diagnosis I was like OK now what ? Well it was a journey to fitness that has unfolded.

When physio said to me the pool (that is right across the road from my home) was suggested I laughed I don's swim and I hate the pool. He insisted that I go and "water walk" to get the hip moving. I could barely walk there never mind get into the pool but I did.

Its been almost a year now that I have been going 5 times a week to the pool for a couple of hours now. I still do not swim but I do love the pool. I deep water walk using a pool noodle between the legs and back and forth I go. I tried a water belt they bite the hip. In loosing the core strength I can not hold the upper body up in the water (yet).

I am down 48 pound and am down 2 sizes. When I tell one's about the pool and my results they go really just doing that and no real diet plan at it works? Yes it works you do not need to swim to use a pool.

Tomorrow I am going to try my first deep water aerobics class that is 45 minutes. There is 2 classes of that a week.

Its a slow and steady path I am on but I am getting there.
