So below I will add the pictures of the torture device my husband insisted I needed.  We have not been walking like we used to.  There seems to always be a reason why but my husband worries about how thin my legs have gotten and that I have started to have swollen ankles and feet sitting at my desk so much.  So

we got this device.  

Now comes the punishment part.  The first time I tried it I did 3 sets of 5 minutes of stepping, rested 10 minutes between sets.  Two or three hours later as I was doing the dishes my legs started to really hurt and get stiff.  I couldn’t bend my legs.  My thighs were swollen.  I was in agony so bad I couldn’t finish the dishes.  I have not used it since.   Can anyone tell me the proper amount of time to use it and how many minutes to rest between and how many sets to do.  Thanks.  I do want to get healthy and build back up my legs that have atrophied but I don’t want to die doing it.   Hugs
