So my return to the gym has been going quite well. Can already feel my fitness increasing! Going to try and get 4-5 days in a week with 40-50 minutes of cardio (possibly building to an hour +) with the treadmill (power walking as I cannot run due to my arthritis), elliptical and rower. Plus some lat pull down weights once a week for upper body strength.
It’s so great to have my boyfriend...
