Health and wellbeing

I confess at 60 I have never learned to swim! When I finished radiotherapy four months ago I started to attend water aerobic classes at the nearby gym in Sandringham. I go three times a week and just love being in the water. The instructors are terrific and I have gone from not being able to use the weights in my affected arm (had 7 lymph nodes removed) to being able to use the same weights as all the other ladies. The range of movement in my arm is much improved and I am teaching myself to swim. I can't wait until I can swim a couple of laps, You will hear me roar, LOL. The gym also has the PINC program run by physiotherapists, as the other ladies have said, it is a subsidised program and well worth doing when going through treatment or when finished treatment. My motivational music is definitely the beach boys and the Beatles (now I am showing my age!). Thank you Daina, this is a great blog, it's terrific reading how everyone keeps fit and healthy, I have learned heaps. Marls
