Thanks Ray, Madelyn and Mary Ann. Ray, I'm amazed that you can do two hours on the bike. It seems I can do about 10 minutes on a recumbent bike and I've had it. I don't enjoy it as much as walking on the treadmill. Mary Ann, I've never heard of that before (the treadmill makes you walk in an unnatural way). I'll have to check it out. Madelyn, I've thought for years about water exercises. I also have osteoarthritis and I'm sure it would do me good. I work full time and also have a part time job. Time escapes me. Also, the thought of a "community bath" never did sit quite well with me. I'm seeing my podiatrist next week. I'll see what he comes up with. Thursday I see my cardiologist and I'm sure he will not be happy that I'm not exercising. Tootles! :-( Roberta Innarella May you allow the unresolved hurts, frustrations, and fears from the past to seek their release in the present and thus be healed once and for all time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
