@hopeful33250 Of course the equipment is adjustable -- if you can figure out how to adjust it. There are two gyms at my club, the upstairs one where I go does not really have lifting equipment. When my son is visiting and I bring him he goes downstairs and I go upstairs.
I did go to the gym section of my club yesterday but felt so inadequate. The only things I am comfortable with there are the treadmills and ellipticals. My PT said he might come to help me transition from the equipment at the PT place where his to this equipment but so far he has not followed on it.

<br><br><br><br><br>I don't do well with the equipment either. It has become too technical now. <br>I go to Silver Sneakers class three times a week. It is an hour and ten minutes <br>with the best teacher. She keeps our cardio going with sitting and standing <br>exercises, lots of muscle building too along with exercises that help the brain <br>as well.<br> <br><br>

@contentandwell That sounds like a great idea, perhaps you need to jog his memory! Teresa

@windwalker What a great suggestion. I have heard of these classes before! Teresa

@hopeful33250 Believe me I have tried, but I don't want to nag, it's his decision. He's a very devoted family man and his one day off during the week he does a lot of work around his home.

To make your work our enjoyable ask, ask ask questions that's job security for the people who work there.
Commend your self...you are doing it!
tame it slow. After lung cancer surgery I took baby steps & had to stop to catch a shallow breath a lot!
It took an hour to go 200 feet. But kept it up! Now I run 10k races. Exercise is what our body craves!!!
Keep up the great work! You can do this!
