Well, technically it wasn't a run...I spent 22 minutes on the "elliptical edge" machine at the gym. It said I went a mile and burned around 60 calories, but I think it LIES!!! I was totally out of breath and sweating like a race horse! But absolutely NO impact or twisting, so it's an approved exercise. Then I spent another 20 minutes on the stationary bike. I already miss real running.
Today was the first of my 20 DRX treatments. They strapped me into a machine that had a harness around my hips and another one around my ribcage, then it pulled my spine apart for 28 minutes with a force of 55 pounds. It took me a few minutes when I was finished just to be able to stand and walk again! 'Twas an interesting sensation. Tomorrow I go back for session two. Eventually they will increase the weight and the time. Fun, fun! |
