Hi Leslie. I have arthritis in my hips. I tend to find sidesteps somewhat irritating. I try to do some, but usually I switch to walking after a while when my hip gets inflamed. I'm not sure whether to keep working on the joint so that it will improve or avoid the movements that irritate it. —Elissa
From Leslie:Your words are like music to my ears "but usually I switch to just walking after a while..." Ahhhh Elissa, my dear, that is what this whole concept is based on! My workouts are no rules, no requirements..and no demands. I ENCOURAGE everyone to walk at a rate that works for them. (Click to find out about Leslie's new program in the works.)
