Duke had his third visit with Dr. Salewski today, and he continues to improve. This visit he was a little tight in his left hip, nothing in his neck, and a little sore just behind his withers. He did great with Dr. Salewski, and he says that Duke probably doesn't need to see him again until he starts getting out of alignment.
The February Practical Horseman has Jimmy Wofford's fitness suggestions:
200 minutes of aerobics per week, at 70% maximum (for me, 180 heart rate)
Body fat (for women) between 18 and 25. According to my Garmin, I'm at 23.2. To be an "athlete" BMI (20%), I'd need to weigh 116 pounds, i.e. lose 18 pounds.
Strength training 3x week, divided into upper body[1], core[2], and lower body[3].
[1] Upper body is upper back and shoulders.
[2] Core is lower back, obliques, abs, glutes.
[3] Lower body is emphasize outer thighs.
