ALL OR NOTHING?

It has been a tough month for exercisng, with my sciatica issues dominating much of February, to be followed by foot issues once the leg pain had been diagnosed and dealt with. So now I have had the nails removed from both big toes (running injuries!), I am still limited in what I can do.

The temptation is to think if I can't run, it's a waste of time. The doctor says I shouldn't use the elyptical either, but I can ride an exercise bike.

I hate the bike and for all the energy expended, burn only a fraction of the calories I do running. But let's face it, riding is better than doing nothing. So I'll be back to the gym in the morning, still a little sore, but recognising that movement of any type is valuable.
