@Red Lily, I could probably pull off the abs exercises, but the glutes look real doubtful.
Hmm. Hate to back out on ya, but I think it's best I put it off.
Sorry

So, here it is, near a year later. My hips don't work so hot, but I'm determined to make them better because not being in decent shape simply isn't me.
Oh drat.

Good luck with that. I hear you.
I tweaked my back about 10 days ago. STILL taking very good care of it.
Amazing, I did very little to cause this, am 'better than average' fitness for a 59 year old and VERY aware of posture when lifting, stretching etc etc etc . 5 seconds of an unmindful action and 'PTANG'.

Is isometrics ok for your upper torso at this stage ?
The doc has got me on a set of stretching and strengthening exercises for bursitis, but I plumb forgot to ask if I should keep them up at my appt today. Doh!
I'm sure isometrics would be okay, but I don't much see the point.

I know someone who had bursitis.
Yes, not so good.

No problem 2. You're already doing something and I'm not. I haven't looked fully at any of them but if they're too hard I'll skip them lol.

Thanks for the sympathetic note. It's an odd thing, to be sure. The notes say it's likely from neglecting stretching exercises prior to working out. ??? So now I'm supposed to stretch out before vacuuming or going out to the garden?

Now I'm thinking it might be a pinched nerve, and I'm kicking myself for not bringing that up to the doc.
Anyway, MRI's as soon as the hospital calls w/an appt.

Then again, here's something that might incentivize you: I lost 2lbs. since my last appt 1 mo. ago. tongue
