I have zero experience with online communities so here goes.
I am 60 and just started exercising and have a personal trainer. Why at 60 have I started? Last November I got an infection in my lower spine that spread to my blood stream. After 7 days in the hospital I was using a walker and had a PICC line with and antibiotic pump in my arm for over 40 days. I may not ever be rid of the discomfort in my spine and lower back so I need to get fit. Prior to this I had worked sitting in front of computers for 25 years so I was not in good shape to begin with. I may not faithfully check in here but I'm giving it a shot.
