Have you noticed its HOT? Any form of exercise is really hard in this weather. The two and a half hour round trip to see Alfie is really tough when the air conditioning in the car isn't working. So I've been in the pool! Swimming lengths on Monday then Aqua Zumba The only way my rubbish balance will let me do Zumba is when I have the water to support me. If I could do more Aqua Zumba I would, but I have started Deep water Aqua Fit on Wednesdays - which I really enjoy too. Any time in the pool is a blessing in this weather. Hopefully will get to see Alfie tomorrow after an appointment with my neurologist. I have a horrible feeling he's going to want a new MRI scan of my head. My least favouri
Saturday 23rd June 2018 I trotted on Alfie today! Sorry, no action pictures, but I did get a hat hair selfie. Alfie post work selfie I watched Matteo ride Alfie & it's great to see the muscle building back up over his quarters. The team at Talland school of equitation are doing a great job with him. I did feel fairly pathetic struggling with rising trot. I don't know who is controlling my right leg, it definitely isn't doing what I tell it. Hopefully working with Helen at Peteremides Personal Training I will be able to strengthen the weak muscles & learn how to control that wayward leg. I guess it's good for my teaching - to be reminded how difficult balance can be, and maintaining the rhyth
Friday 22nd June 2018 It's been nearly a week since my last post & to be honest I feel a lot like Bertie looks in this picture. Worn out pup I had my first session with personal trainer Helen Peterimedes today. Lots of balance work. Some core & upper body strengthening and some cardiovascular work on the bike and the CROSS-TRAINER. I am now hurting. To be honest I was expecting some pain, after all I haven't done that sort of exercise for ages. I was not expecting the pain in my right hip. It was the left side of my pelvis I fractured so why does the right side hurt? A lot of the exercises Helen gave me I can do at home. I wonder how much an exercise bike is? Although Helen says my balance i
You have to start some where so I started here. Back on board, only for a couple of minutes, and only walking. Baby steps but a huge leap for me. Why? I'll explain. 2018 did not start all that well. The end of January found me in hospital with a fractured pelvis they told me was more than 5 months old when they found it. This explained a lot about why I had been struggling to work, and I had been blaming my Multiple Sclerosis! 4 days in hospital, then home & looking for homes for Alfie & Midge as I was unable to look after them. As the DIY yard owner had told me I wasn't able to provide livery care anymore, after more than 4 years of doing it, new homes for the equines were going to be per
