57 weeks after Knee ACI
The knee is generally stable with occasional pain if I over exert it. This month I’ve been very stressed up at work and did not have much time to exercise. However, I’ve been going to physiotherapy sessions fortnightly and increasing the level of intensity. This afternoon, I was able to do stationary jog on the mini trampoline for more than 10 minutes. The physio said I could try some brisk walking.
My kids bought the Nintendo Wii Fit pad for me to exercise the leg and body posture. Wii Fit comprises a pressure board for you to stand on and 4 main categories of exercises - various Yoga poses, strength training, aerobic exercises, and improving balance & agility. In each category, there are many levels of difficulty, starting from the simple, such as, deep-breathing exercise and as one progresses, more difficult levels are unlocked. The Wii console keeps track of your training progress, measuring your weight and calculates your Body-Mass-Index (BMI); asks you to set personal target and tracks your improvement over time in a graph. Based on your performance, the program even attempts to determine your Wii age (fitness age as compared to actual). It’s a fun way to keep fit and exercise the body muscles.
