I ignored exercise for years, until, as is always the way, the need for it hit me in an unpleasant way. After a month in hospital and an unpleasant operation I was told to go home and rest and recover, ‘Oh and by the way, don’t forget to exercise that leg’.
When you feel fragile, as you do after a month in hospital, it’s not easy to even think about exercise. I had worked with physiotherapists, but at home it was very very easy to just do the rest part and forget everything else. Weeks passed and I began to feel better, I stretched the leg, but was quite unable to go for walks, so I started to look for something that would be low impact but would let me ‘stretch my legs’.
