My personal trainer had me start out on the elliptical, rowing machine, etc. using the lowest settings and for no more than five to ten minutes. I wanted to do more but followed her instructions and slowly built up to higher settings and for longer periods of time. You might want to try that… Good luck!

I recently tried a class in water aerobics and I’d love to hear from anyone else who has tried it and/or does it regularly. The only things I noticed were that I felt like I weighed 1000 pounds when I got out of the pool for a minute or so, then it went away. I also noticed about 10 or 15 minutes later that I could feel my feet for a change they were kind of throbbing and tingling for a few minutes. BTW, I have poly neuropathy, idiopathic, hereditary, no pain or burning sensations, just weakness and numbness. And instability.

This is good to know - my husband has severe idiopathic neuropathy - sores on his feet - he ignored an infection and very recently has half his big toe amputated. He kept all of this from me before this!!! No longer, that is for sure. He does want to work out again - I will tell him exactly what you said above.!! He said he just didn't want to bother me!!!!! NOW I will be going with him to the podiatrist every month - and inspecting his feet daily!! He has numbness in his feet. I have to research this!! Thanks again.
