Fun New Aerobic Exercise Time Is Now

Running ist verboten, so I had a 25-minute go at the elliptical instead. I'm not entirely sure I have escaped without scathe, as things feel a little weird in the knee region and I got a twinge (in a completely different part of the joint! Hurray!) as I was walking up the stairs on my way back, but I don't actually hurt at the moment.

Our gym does not in fact have the foam roll whatsit I'm supposed to use for the illotibial thingummy, so will have to check sporting-goods-store-of-choice and do that exercise at home.

I've also been using [livejournal.com profile] sweh's Wii Fit, insofar as I can without doing any activities that require deep knee bends, squats, etc. (I'd guesstimate that cuts out maybe 15% of what I've unlocked as yet.) Me likey, even if I'm terrible at the ski jump. I am working out how best to integrate a daily dose into my schedule without undue disruption to his life (or mine. As I was sitting there going "well, okay, I could get up at 5am, ride my bike down, do a half hour, ride back, get ready for work, and make the 6:56 train..." Um yeah maybe not).

You have to walk across broken glass to try and get the Fit.

It wasn't too hard to get here. Maybe place an order somewhere like Amazon, keep using [livejournal.com profile] sweh's in the meantime?

Though I have heard that Nintendo are sending more stock to Europe than the US thanks to the weak dollar. More profitable that way. So maybe order from the UK... ;)
