Well this is a subject near and dear to me. As might be guessed from my login name, I am a triathlete, am Ironman. I was pretty devistated by TX and have been working quite hard to get back to where I was a short 20 months ago. Even during the most depressing days of treatment I would at least get out for a walk. Actually, my wife would force me out to walk,I use to call it the batan death march. Down the street, around the block I woul shuffle. I was able to start working out maybe 3 months after TX and it did give me great satisfaction and helped getting me stronger. Today, 18 months post, I am doing well. I guess I will not return to where I was before but that is OK.
So all I can say is that I believe 100% is getting out and moving. We can walk, we can lift light weights, yoga is great, streching is great. We just neeed to keep movin forward.
