So I've joined the Medical Fitness program at the hospital where I work. They have a gym with awesome new machines and a system that tracks your workouts. There are also personal trainers who help you plan your workouts and goals. My first goal is strengthening and getting my injuries under control. I want to be able to give my nephews piggy back

Thank you darling!

Not sure about you but I have bad tendency to inflammation which is worse in problem joints (wrist and left shoulder). As a result, I've found I actually need to ease into lifting or running with lower impact workouts (yoga) or low intensity sessions. This can be either lower level of weights than what trainers want you using, or bare minimum of reps instead of reps to exhaustion. Plus plenty of NSAIDs after to control lactase buildup in muscles.

Inflammation is my NEMESIS. I have a new NSAID that my doc has me trying and lots of stretching/yoga/etc in between the easing into lifing days. I have to keep reminding myself that Rome was not built in a day, and I did not get out of shape in only a day either. *headdesk*
