I found this new "toy" that has helped me get back into exercising. It's a little step-machine. I got it at a store in the mall that only sells stuff they sell in info-mercials. I wanted some exercise I can do inside because the Elavil & Ditropan are making it hard to exercise outdoors when it's hot. (I seem to be sunburning more easily & also don't think I sweat normally on these meds)
It's pretty solid, weighted down, like a stair-master without the handles. I decided to try this when I realized that going upstairs doesn't bother my bladder but going down stairs does. This is like a perpetual upstairs movement. I got it Wednesday and did 100 steps that day. Yesterday I did 150 steps, and still no flare, though my quads are reminding me of the experience. So, will try 200 steps next to see if that's okay too.
Okay, that's all. Just posted in case it might work for someone else too :)
