I am so glad that this thread was started,WHY you ask ,because I needed to hear or should say read some of the stories on here about your successes. I had back surgery and total hysterectomy when I was younger so have been in menopause for a few years now.Exercise is something I try but then end up paying for in the way I feel, I would love to find a indoor pool to use year round near me but in the sticks that is almost unheard of ,any help you all can give me is greatly appreciated
