Trying to keep my knee–Changing my workout routine

I’m still going to walk the dogs, because that’s the best way to get Macy to lose weight and I think it helps Dulce’s energy level.

However, I’ve got my gym equipment listed on eBay, and I have a membership to LA Fitness.  I went ahead and got the cheapest, long term membership, since the gym has been open for awhile, it is still VERY clean and it is blocks from the house.  I’m hoping that selling the gym equipment will pay for at least part of the membership and I’ll have that room to do something else.  Like an very small indoor dog training room.

Here’s why:

Two orthopedists and three physical therapists want me to do the majority of my exercise on either a stationary bicycle or in water.  This gym has both.  I had a long term membership which I used daily on the other side of the office plaza so I have been known to use a gym membership.  I might even go on the way to school tomorrow, but don’t hold your breath (but would solve a problem if I did that on Monday’s and Friday’s at least).

It’s time to listen to the people I pay for advice, and I really want to avoid the knee replacement.  I’m really wondering about it since I have an appointment on September 13th, and have not heard a word from the orthopedist office.
