I haven't missed a day of doing Egoscue, alternating the two menus. Today playing soccer on the beach I came down hard on my left leg funny and thought I'd done a number on my knee but I walked it out and it was fine.
10.13.09
I missed doing the menu the other day but in the month I've been doing Egoscue, I've only missed two days overall. I still alternate between the first and second menus each day. They take an hour. I'm going to ask Paul for less time now. Still heel pain. But body feels fine.

I felt my outer thighs when standing the other night and they are HARD! I mean not flabby! I was so impressed to feel this. A month of Egoscue ecises has achieved this, and it is a nice surprise. I also feel like my legs are stronger when I get up from sitting on the floor.
But I still limp from heel pain and walk like an old person for the first minute after I get up each morning. Then I'm fine.

Feel like I'm standing straighter lately
10.3.09
Did Airbench for the full two minutes today for the first time.
10.9.09
For the last couple of nights I could tell I was standing up straighter, more easily.
I still am at odds with Floor Block. Don't know if I'm doing it right and have procrastinated checking the ecise out online for clarification.
Prone Ankle Squeezes - am using an empty half gallon water plastic jug but don't know if it's the right shape.
Supine Foot Circles and Point/Flexes - can still barely do only 25 of each before ankles get too tired.
My body still feels old in the morning, still a bit of right heel pain when I step on right leg but I'm sure that will begin to lessen even more.
Need to make video showing my cracky ankle circles before my ankle stops creaking.
I want to wake up feeling fresh and flexible and youthful and ready to do karate chops!

Started my second Egoscue Menu
10.2.09
Yesterday I did the Alternate Ecises Menu, today I did the Original Menu. I can do Airbench for 1 minute 50 seconds now, which is way longer than 30 seconds, which is how long I could hold it the first time I did it two weeks ago.
The side leg lift one is easier now too. Outer thigh doesn't burn so soon.
Nicole from the Egoscue Clinic called me again tonight - she is so nice to do that. Wanted to know if all was well. She said she saw my pictures and I'm definitely making progress. I told her I was blogging about this and that I had posted a creaky knee video. She said the creakiness will go away. I said I can't wait, that would be incredible.
