I already have a walker I tried using in the house, but this one is smaller and I can keep it to ONLY use in the house or going to town for appointments, etc.
(my exact walker - store photo)
I used it all day Monday, Thursday, Friday and the weekend last week. Well, mostly on the weekend. I started using my chair more this weekend again and am today (Monday). After sticking with my chair for so much, man does it make a body tired. lol Oh well, it's all good - only one way to get stronger, and that's to use the muscles! Darn, I'm tired today, though. Of course that could be somewhat my nearly 5 mile ride last night too. And I got nearly a mile of trot work in there too!! So, using my legs more in general is a good thing. Just have to be sure to find that fine line between doing just enough and not too much. For instance; part of why I've stuck with the chair for today is it's laundry day and I'm not about to figure out how to carry a basket on my walker right now. Also need to get going again on the dresser painting project and that's up stairs where I'll be caning it.
