This is many of our 60+ bootcampers 💪🏻
They may not all be packing guns like this granny, but they sure as heck are fit and strong, because they consistently come to strength and resistance classes every week, no excuses…💪🏻

Hi all…
An update on my hip replacement (especially if we aren’t personal facebook friends).
The surgery went really well, and while the spinal block was still working I was completely pain free…the first evening was a different story though, I managed 2 hours sleep with the pain, something I wasn’t expecting at all. Friday saw me up and walking with a frame and starting my physio exercises, which while painful I exceeded all of the Physio’s expectations (all those aqua fitness and Bootcamp classes have definitely paid off). I got 5.5 hours sleep Friday night, and Saturday saw me go to crutches and smash out those exercises, so I could come home Saturday arvo. Last night I had a really good night sleep, and even now still catching up, but at least I can sleep pain free. I’m able to move a lot better and the exercises are getting easier, which I’m doing every hour now, I’m near to the point I don’t need a resistance band to help get my leg up onto the bed. Regular ice packs have been a god send. Having my hip replacement done anterior (AMIS) has ment no muscle or nerve was cut into, also meaning a speedier recovery and I’m fortunate to have had a great surgeon Dr Scott Taylor through public/private who is particularly experienced in the AMIS Hip surgery which I would not have gotten at the LGH.
Thanks to all for the well wishes and looking forward to seeing everyone soon. While I won’t be back in the pool for 6 weeks, I will be at Bootcamp classes in the next week or 2.
