    So has anyone already done the new physical activity yet? I'm really having a hard time thinking of something!

    I was thinking about a cardio workout DVD. Like a dancing one or something. My backup is doing the exercise bike!

    I have wrist issues although they are getting stronger....try doing push ups on your fists or on weights (barbells on the floor in your hand)...it helps

    I am going to be struggling the rest of the week with eating solid foods and doing any kind of physical activity. I may have to substitute some of these exercises for ones with less bouncing around and weight on my knee. We will see how things go tonight.
