What kind of exercise?
by LindainAR, May 09, 2006 12:00AM
I have had a blood clot in both legs so circulation is not good. No high impact exercise. Need to loose weight (appprox 30 lbs). Other than walking and swimming can you think of any type of exercise to help. I do wear compression hose when exercising which helps with swelling. I'm doing 2 miles now but not seeing much results.

Dear LindainAR,
The best advice I can give is that you speak directly with your doctor. Do you have a personal trainer available to you at your gym? If you were at my gym I would be able to help, but not knowing your full history makes it difficult.
The first thing I can think of is that you are not raising your heartrate enough during your exercise. Usually I tell my clients to stay at their target heart rate at least 40-45 minutes a day continuasly to see good results. This may not be possible with your limitations though.
