Hurray! I love when doctors tell us that!
I'm still a little skeptical about squats, but you know how to listen to your body.
As for cross-country skiing - I'll leave that to you, my old bones love the warm weather, so I'll just head to Texas next month. But I will snowshoe with the grandkids when we come home for Christmas - and build a snowman or two.
Enjoy your new pain-free hip!

Hi Sue,

For some background, I was a consistent lifter for 25+ years before my hip got too painful to work out. The long training history has strengthened my bones so I think squats will be fine—listen to the body and adjust accordingly.

Starting light and short. I’ve got the experience.

Thanks!
Bill
