The machine I have is working miracles already. Well, I am working it for miracles.
I have to move the Legxercise machine in front of me each time I use it and then move it away. I thought it must weigh fifty pounds. It is heavy, but only fifteen pounds! When my daughter was a year old and weighed fifteen pounds, she was light as a feather. I cannot imagine cuddling this heavy machine!
Sorry to go on and on about this machine, but I love it, love the results. Tonight, I was lying on the bed when I felt strange feelings in my abdomen. I concentrated to see what the feeling was. It was muscles. For the first time in a long time, I could hold in my stomach. My muscles worked! I could not really hold in my stomach much, but the effort was felt.
I suppose the loss of face fat is due to loss of weight, but I wonder if improvement in lymphedema could cause the smaller face.???
Like I said, my feet are so much less swollen that I do not realize I still have my sandals on. I imagine in a few weeks I will have to tighten the buckles that I had let out. I found my Mother's ring I had misplaced, and it is too loose, even after moving it to a larger finger. My hands did not look or feel swollen, but I suppose they were. My knuckles have never been enlarged, so they look the same they always have looked.
My left knee and left hip bend more easily to get into the car. Life is better.
If we are going out of town overnight, I will carry the Legxerciser with me and use it in the motel room. I may have a duffle bag it will fit. I don't want to live without it now. After three days, I am hooked.
Riding my bike was a supreme joy when I was a child, teen, and adult. I even rode it when pregnant and had people call my obgyn to tell me to quit. He did not. I put three-year-old on seat behind me and the one-year-old in the basket and rode them to pool and around town.
So, this new machine is wonderful for me in many ways
Do you ever love a piece of machinery to exercise?
That's great news. Didn't you also say you got one of the earthing mats? When I started using that all the swelling I was getting in my hands during the night went away. I'm still trying to figure out if my knees would hit the underside of my desk with one of those exercisers haha.
ReplyDeleteWith my feet on the machine, my knees are at 24 inches above the floor. This house is not grounded, so I have to figure that out before it will work.
DeleteGlad it is working for you.
ReplyDeleteCheryl,
DeleteMe too.
Oh, I'm so glad you are enjoying your new machine. Over 15,000 is amazing! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteBelinda,
DeleteI am euphoric over the benefits. Thanks.
That's wonderful news. You've put the effort in so it's great to see a positive effect so soon!
ReplyDeleteTreaders,
DeleteI will keep this up. It is easy to do with my lack of ability to walk much and not to be able to go for a walk or run.
Good for you! One of the successful element of exercise is to find something you enjoy doing. I am glad you found one
ReplyDeleteUrspo,
DeleteWell, I do enjoy it.
