Thanks again for the reply!
I just wanted to make a post for others who might be reading.

I have been doing the book for two months exactly. I did skip some and do my favorites during the second month, but now I will be going back and doing the entire plan to make sure I get it all in there.

Anyways… I am starting to feel amazing! My bones still grind, but less. I can stand on the bad leg and put pants on without leaning or crunching the bones. I am slow at doing this but progress! How great it feels.

Also, I haven’t walked for more than 20 minutes without limping and pain and a high heart because I am over worked and tired. I think the last time I walked for over 2 hours was a couple years ago. But now, I walked for 4 hours this weekend! I was a little stiff but nothing too bad. And all thanks to the book.

Can’t wait to see how far I come by the end of the year!

This is a tricky question to answer as everyone is different. The best guidance would be to re-read the section of the book on Exercise and OA.

In short, the fitter and stronger you can get the better. Throughout my decade long battle I tried all approaches – training hard in sports, doing nothing but rehab and a bit of both. Without a doubt, best results were achieved when I got the balance between the two just right.

Try some regular crunches and other core work. Just make sure you try to use the correct muscles and that you dedicate some time each week to focusing 100% on correct muscle activation.

I always made great progress doing strength training (weight lifting) whilst trying to correct my imbalance. Don’t get too hung up about never moving until you can move correctly. As long as you keep trying to build awareness things should slowly but surely move in the right direction. The Exercise section in the book will help you to understand how to achieve the right balance.

Also curious on more core strengthening. I want to move past the book and do more regular exercises but not sure if I should at the moment. I think the plan targets the proper areas that I would miss out on doing regular crunches, etc.
