I was too embarrassed to try something new. I could barely climb the stairs without sharp pain from my hip. I could not walk the room without limping- for heaven\u2019s sake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What was he thinking??<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, I finally gave it a go- ever so cautiously. My son became my personal trainer, my husband my coach. They took such care to encourage me. And slowly, so slowly I became stronger and more confident. I learned to exercise differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is zero cardio in my workouts, instead I focus on strength and carefully stretching in specific ways. It\u2019s unlike anything I\u2019ve done before, but it\u2019s actually working. I can climb the stairs without pain and walk without limping.\u00a0&#x1f64c;&#x1f3fd;\u00a0I\u2019m so very thankful. -Anna<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ForGlorySake.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"398\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/forglorysake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7A2B92AF-F7C1-43CC-AFFA-49E96271352F.png?resize=398%2C398&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7464\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems crazy to admit but I do.
