Despite having my funds nearly drained, I renewed my Y membership yesterday.  I went into the pool for a while and took some swimming. I also just took some time to soak in the heated pool. Muscles felt much better afterwards, and this feeling continued to today.  Because I was feeling better, I decided to see if I could handle the exercise bike again. I did not do the cardio workout, but put it on fat burn and set it for 25 minutes, with the caveat that if the pain got too bad i would get off.   I made it 22 minutes.

Now, I'll have to see if I can work more parts of my old workout routine into my fitness regimen. I'm going to keep swimming in it though.
