Elliott Works Out – Wednesday, March 21, 2012
Now that Elliott has started to get his back pain under control (thanks to modern pharmaceuticals), his exuberant spirit has reasserted itself. At the end of last week, he was feeling so much better that he couldn’t sit still. I could hardly keep him from tearing around the house with Winnie, his three-wheeler. He even decided that he wanted to work out with me. So, on Monday, he became a full-fledged member of Lifetime Fitness, the gym I belong to in Fairfax City. Wearing his Paris sweatshirt, he pedaled away on a stationary bicycle for about five minutes to warm up his muscles. Then he went through the stretching exercises his physical therapist had recommended. Next time, I’ll introduce him to the treadmill. We’ll try to get to the gym at least three times a week, and we’ve already scheduled a session with a personal trainer. It will be great to have a workout partner!
