I have had a knee replacement, and thought I was doomed to walk with a stick forever. However I realised that I needed to build more muscle and began to work out every day using YouTube videos. I began with seated exercises and functional exercises for seniors. I also liked ‘walk at home’. Later, I graduated to light hand weights and ‘standing abs and cardio’ routines. These resistance routines mean that I now feel more like 35 than 70, can nip up and down stairs with ease, and can kneel easily because my knees are well padded with muscle. Apart from my fingers, my osteoarthritis has gone into remission.
