It’s been over a week since I’ve had any symptom of dizziness. I’m not yet cleared to hike or ride a bike outdoors. But since two hiking poles serve just as well as two canes for stability, I can Nordic walk with the poles, which is enjoyable and a good workout of its own. Also after a long period of mostly rainy and gloomy weather (which was fine with me because it is great for our water supply), we’ve had sunny weather lately. I kept up my conditioning before this with strength training and indoor biking, but nothing beats being outdoors in good weather.
The Sunshine is back!Starting out on a real outdoor workout for the first time in a couple of weeks

After recently completing a month of hiking, I completely agree with your assessment. Walking is good for us.
I agree. walking is good for you. Mountain biking is better and if you really want to ramp up the heart rate try surf kayaking. 😀 It works for me anyway. BTW. had the same balance problem but only very mild…damn scary.

I love kayaking on flat or fairly calm water. I took a “surf zone” course once, enjoyable but challenging. I agree about the heart rate!
