Why i'm walking

Thursday 29th Aug As some of you may or may not know, in 2023 i was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hip. I have always loved fitness whether it was dance, running or weights and circuits....fitness is a big part of what makes me....me! Since my diagnosis, ive lost confidence and muscle mass and constantly have to adapt my fitness. My pain fluctuates, as does my ease to get up and move, and this is hard. So, im walking to raise awareness that arthritis of any form affects so many different ages and physical abilities and its important to challenge yourself and show that something like arthritis is not always visible but can change your whole way of life. Gotta keep moving! Share
