@ihatediabetes, with all of my joint issues I have had to learn how to adapt things to work for me. As a result, I know for certain that the way I do certain exercises looks funny, but I've always had the mentality that any person in a gym or out walking is already ahead of those who do not! If you are familiar with the show Friends, I always think of Phoebe going for runs in Central Park and how it embarrasses Rachel, but Phoebe doesn't care because she is having fun.
