Thank you Fran.

I'm a 69 y/o male. In 2022 I had both knees replaced. I worked with a trainer for 6 months pre-surgery to get my legs in shape, and found the post-surgery rehab to be very tedious, but doable. I had a 20% nerve block in place for a few days after surgery.

I was back in the gym in 2 or 3 months and came back slowly. For that next year, I primarily did resistance exercise - leg presses and squats - to strengthen my legs and protect my knees.

This year I moved away from extensive resistance training and started cardio work - 3 times a week in a spin class and twice a week on a rowing machine. Since making this change, my legs and knees feel remarkable.

I realize I'm a unique success story. Just want to share the message that TKRs can be life changing if done right, and if the patient does all the work suggested and immediately following surgery.

All the best!
