I can say that if my little bloke suffered a similar fate that I would really struggle as well to get any form of exercise. T'ai chi is very popular although I haven't had a good go at it. Perhaps I should try again this year. Thanks for stopping by and give your doggie a big hug for me :) Sal Hi Sharonda,

I'm not fond of being surrounded by people, so exercise, for me, is a solo activity. It's also one that I haven't had nearly as much time for since my dog got paralyzed, but some of the things that used to be fun, for me, were walking the dog, taking my MP3 player and heading out for a solo walk, playing on the swing set at the park (again, with soundtrack), or just running errands around town on my bicycle. If you got the knees, reading comprehension, and coordination for it, learning t'ai chi via internet is a good way to banish boredom and lower blood pressure. (That last bit is purely anecdotal, by the way.) I could never, ever make a successful go of a gym membership. I’m not fond of being surrounded by people, so exercise, for me, is a solo activity.
