@hjluks You did it! As we all knew you would. Hope there’s not too much dizziness

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@hjluks Thinking about you these days. The other day I didn’t feel like doing my cardio and I thought God, Howard can’t do his cardio today—for God sake, Mel, go do some cardio.

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@hjluks I look for your posts, especially on Saturday mornings. They energize me every time. Thank you.

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@hjluks Howard, is it all right for my 65 year old husband to be doing the drop off of the step when he has a hip replacement? Everyone seems to warn that someone with a hip replacement should not do anything with impact. Is that true? Could you address this in an article?

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@hjluks What is the purpose of the band?

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@Paddy_Barrett Thank you. The stigma is hard to believe, but then again it’s probably the same people who stigmatize me for being overweight. Can’t win either way. I tell overweight people that I used Ozempic. I tell thin people that I just ate less. Both are true.

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@hjluks Love these. I find your posts to be very informative and motivating (65). Seeing what you yourself actually do is so helpful. And I love the contrast between, say, a two hour zone two session, and a simple but important power or quickness move

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@hjluks Thank you so much for the simple and important tips

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@hjluks Do power and speed moves require more recovery in our 60s than lifting or Zone 2 running does?

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@DrJN_SportsMed Been there, done that. Zzzz is right. But it does the job. Hang in there.

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@hjluks Love this perspective. Thanks, Doc

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@stopchasingpain This is great to know. I worry because I’ve had a lymph node removed from my neck. I appreciate all of your knowledge.

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@Paddy_Barrett Agreed. I choose carefully who to tell. The only answer should be congratulations for getting healthier.

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@hjluks Which knee drops?

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@hjluks Beautifully said. Inspirational.

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@christonge @hjluks The exact same thing happened to my husband (64). We are now two years out from the second surgery and he is in better shape than he has ever been. Don’t give up!

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@hjluks It is very clearly and succinctly written. I appreciated the written version very much.

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@hjluks I ran 1/2 a mile today in Zone two—one year after onset of adductor magnus/pubic tendinopathy. Felt amazing. I’ve been following your advice. Building my new base!

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@novicephysio @hjluks I would love to understand the answer to this question. It would be very helpful in continuing rehabilitation

[Melanie Carr @melanieccarr]

@hjluks @DrJN_SportsMed @northwoods1980 Been a year for me so far. Very strange trying to lead a life without sitting regularly in a chair. And people think you’re exaggerating. Slow and but relatively steady recovery with physio.
