Exercise!

I started exercising today. I rode my stationary bike for an hour. I didn't ride real hard but maintained a steady pace through out the ride. I did get a sweat going and felt like I accomplished something.

I have to exercise to help my heart get stronger. Through this exercising and building a stronger heart I hope to resolve the circulation problem in my legs.

I was diagnosed with superficial phlebitis and was told that it should clear up and I would recover from it completely. However, it seems to be lingering and has left behind some varicose veins and tender spots on my right leg. Just about the time I think the swelling has gone for good, my leg will swell. Now, it isn't as bad as the 1st time but still very irritating.

I am ready for my leg to be completely well and I am ready to feel better and I believe the exercise will help. If it doesn't I have other issues and I think it may be the blood pressure medicine, Norvasc.

I plan to keep exercising even if it turns out that it is my bp medicine causing me this problem. I plan to keep exercising because all my past experiences with exercing is positive and I always feel good and look better. I need to feel good and I want to look better. :)
