Quickest way to increase stamina with these tools?!
Question: Quickest way to increase stamina with these tools!?
I'll cut to the chase!. I'm going back to floor nursing full-time after 9 years out of it because I have rheumatoid arthritis!. Enbrel has changed my life so that's the short version!. I haven't been on my butt for 9 years but I have worked mostly a desk job!.
I have a dual-action (arms/legs) exercise bike, which I usually do in 1/2 hour slots, dumbells (1!.5, 3 and 5 lb!.), ankle weights, a resistence band, and three dogs that it takes me 45 min to walk 1!.5 miles together (they are hounds and stop to sniff everything)!.
I am not buying more equipment, I am not joining a gym, I will not jog or run because that is not good for arthritic feet, so I need to make a schedule using the two tools above before I have to start being on my feet running up and down halls for 8 and possibly more hours a day!. I am going to work 3-11 so I can have plenty of time in the morning to get family out the door, take care of dogs, do housework, go to exercise, take a hot shower, and get dressed & not be rushed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
I would increase the activity on the dual action exercise thingy maybe 2 minutes at a time until I could go 45 minutes and see how that feels!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
