I exercise at least every day. I walk at lunch when Im at work. I go to the gym for about 2 hours every other day. Yesterday I took my wife Kayaking, it was a perfect day out on the water. For me, dialysis does not get in teh way of how I want to live. I exercise on D days, i dont see why not. I have D at 6am, then work, so I get to the gym in the evenings. I also hike like 4-5 miles every sat or sunday.  I also dont pay any attention to the renal diet or fluid restrictions.( I do take my binders though). And I feel really good most of the time. Yes I can tell when I have extra fluid on, but that doesnt stop me from doing whatI want to do. Ok ihd'ers... flame away..

I'm up to 19 different exercises, most with relatively low weights, 90 minutes per session, 3 x per week.
And when I'm finished I have an ice cold protein shake.

Hi, Superrick and hexoffrnder:

It's very nice to share your experiences of exercises routines. It's very inspirational to me.  I love exercising. I exercises everyday if I can. It gives me quality of life.

Take care.

I have to give great credit to those that manage to stay active.  Myself, I am somewhat depressed at the degeneration of my physical capabilities.  Not only the constant exhaustion of the affliction of my kidneys, but from the multiple permanent physical injuries I have subjected myself to.  Being a 'Guy' and very physically active, being stupid and taking risks of injuries a normal person should, I have caused most all of my own problems.  Oh Well.  This is a price I am forced to live with.

I often think of how neat it would be if there was some sort of 'Boot Camp' for us older damaged bodies.  A group of injured people all wanting to get back into some semblance of physical condition.  As an individual it is very difficult to make oneself get that kind of active.  In a group there is so much more, how can I say, 'comradery' (?) that helps one endure the hardship of the exertions.

Army Boot Camp had it's difficulties, but none were actually that bad.  At least not for an 18 year old that was already in pretty decent shape. What I wouldn't give to be like that again.  No injuries, no limitations.

On off days, I do forty five minutes to an hour free weights followed by walking two miles. Plus the usual work around the house I am still able to do.
